Potato Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3/4 c. cold mashed potatoes
4 c. shredded coconut, chopped
4 c. confectioners sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. salt
4 sq. baking chocolate

Preparation

Mix potatoes (plain mashed, no butter, milk or salt added) and confectioners sugar. Stir in coconut, vanilla and salt; blend well. Press into 1 large or 2 small pans so that candy will be about 1/2-inch thick. Melt chocolate over hot water. (Do not allow water to boil. If chocolate gets too hot, it may be streaky when hardened.) Pour chocolate on top of candy. Cool and cut into squares.
