I tried this and it turned out kind of runny. My mom says its because the warm potato melted the sugar... I probably won't try it again because it didn't taste very good...

If you have a craving for this candy but, don't have a potato in the house I just pour some powdered sugar (about a box) in a bowl and gradually add milk to it (dosn't take much) tell dough ball forms and roll out just like recipe suggest.

I really wanted to like these cookies but they excite me or my husband. The sugar potato dough was so sugary, not even the peanut butter could bring it back.

I loved this cookie. I do wish however that the size of the potatoe was stated. I used a really large one and had to use more sugar... then I ended up with to much sugar I think. But it came out ok, and everyone ate it up. I think a medium sized potato would have worked the best.

I haven't tried this particular recipe, but potatoe candies are a classic at home and we do it without fiexed quantities, because it all depends on the size of the potatoe. Therefore, one should try to get the smallest potatoe possible and add sugar until it forms a dough. You can always cook another potatoe if you find you don't have enough candies in the end (there are never enough...)

I'm sorry to say that this recipe did not work at all. The ingredient amounts are way off. If you want to make the "potato candy" your Grandma used to make, go to Rhonda's recipe for "potato candy", read the reviews and add extra confections sugar. It's a lot of work, so make sure you have enough time and enough sugar on hand...enjoy

If you are just starting out for the first time on making there cookies(potato candy). Use a small potato, size of golf ball. You will use a little over half a bag of powdered sugar. More if mixture is still to wet when you try and remove it from the bowl. You will need to use powdered sugar to kneed the mixture like bread dough. When no longer tackey, put powdered sugar on rolling pin and roll out. Follow recipe. Place wax paper between each layer of cookies(candy)to keep from sticking together in air tight containe. Hope this advice helps. :)
