Chocolate Tater Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 small potato (one 5 oz potato OR 1/3 cup unflavoured mashed potato)
    1 -2 tablespoon milk (skim works well)
    1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (natural works well)
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
    1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, finely chopped (optional)
Preparation
    Peel and cook potato; mash with enough milk to make it fluffy (you should have 1/3 cup mashed potato); set aside.
    Line a 8x4x2 inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over the edges of the pan; spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
    Melt chocolate; stir in mashed potato, peanut butter, and vanilla; stir in powdered sugar (if necessary, use your hands to mix in the last 1/4 cup sugar).
    Stir in half of the peanuts.
    Turn fudge into prepared pan, press down evenly; sprinkle with remaining peanuts, then press the peanuts into the fudge.
    Chill until firm; once firm, use the foil to lift the fudge out, cut into 1 inch squares; store in a tightly covered contatiner in the fridge.
    Yield 32 pieces.
