Potato Bounty - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3/4 cup cold mashed potatoes
4 1/2 cups icing sugar
4 cups desiccated coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder (bitter, not sweetened)
Preparation
-
Mash the icing sugar into the potatoes. It looks impossible but it will work! I found it easiest to use my hands, like I was making pastry.
Add the coconut and the cocoa powder.
Push into a rectangular dish/pan and flatten out until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
Chill in the fridge.
Cut into squares and serve - sparingly! it's very, very sweet.
I called it Potato Bounty, because the taste reminds me of the Bounty bar you can buy in the uk - don't know if it sells in the States too.
Next time I might add chopped glace cherries, maybe some nuts too.
5 minutes squidging time, about an hour chilling. No cooking.
