Gram s Potato Candy

1 small potato, peeled and cubed

1 (16 ounce) package confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon milk, or more as needed

1 dash green food coloring

⅓ cup peanut butter

Place potato cubes in a small sauce pan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.

Mash potato in a large bowl until smooth.

Stir 1 cup confectioners sugar into mashed potato; mix well. Gradually stir remaining confectioners sugar and milk to form a firm dough. Incorporate green food coloring at this point if using.

Sprinkle work surface with confectioners sugar, and roll dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Spread peanut butter evenly onto the dough.

Tightly roll dough into a log, jelly roll-style, beginning at the wide end.

Wrap log in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until the candy sets up, about 1 hour. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
