These were absolutely FABULOUS! My family couldn't believe they were made from Mashed Potatoes! If you love York Peppermint Patties, you will LOVE these....Though I will say one thing....if you don't want to be working ALL DAY....don't double this recipe..lol....:)

Easy recipe. The only reason I rated it 3 instead of 5, Is, I followed this recipe EXACTLY and still had to add about 10 cups of dough to get the right "dough" consistency. Also, the salt could be easily cut in half. And I would recommend using peppermint oil (food grade, of course) over extract. Though you'd need to cut down the amount used drasitically if you used the oil.

These were really good! Just like York peppermit patties! I made them twice; once for a Christmas party and the other for neighbor Christmas gifts. Both times I added a little green food coloring. Also, when I shaped them I rolled them into a ball and then used a heavy glass dusted in powered sugar to flaten them to give them a more even look. I then freezes them until I was ready to covered them in chocolate and I ended up needing to double the amount of chocolate.

These were delicious!! Instead of making patties I spead the mint mix on waffle pretzels and froze them for 2 hrs and then dipped them in chocolate. Oh My Goodness!! I will make these again soon.

Added extra powdered sugar like the others. Refriderated the filling for about an hours, formed my patties, then froze them for about a half hour. Took them out and covered them and set them on wax paper, put them back in the freezer...i also added extra peppermint and used dark chocolate instead.

These are really good! You just have to be careful to not have to much potato, unless you have a LOT of confectioners' sugar...

What a simple yummy recipe! My family all knows that my go-to candy of choice is the York Peppermint Patty so I had to try this out. I agree with others in that you need to freeze your dough for about an hour before you dip in the chocolate. I also ran out of chocolate so I ended up melting a bag of chocolate chips to dip the remainder in. Thanks for sharing Wendy!

I didnt like how mine turned out, but i gave it a three because the texture was good, and I could have done something wrong

I made these for Easter treats. I used several different extracts and they came out great. I really liked them with orange extract. Maple extract got rave reviews too. DELICIOUS!

Amazing! I froze them after mixing the minty filling and after dipping them in chocolate. I made 5 dozen of these and they were gone within a few days- everyone loved them! I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you make them with mashed potatoes...
