1 c warm unseasoned mashed potato
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
2 lbs confectioners sugar
1 lb chocolate confection
coating or chocolate for dipping
2/3 c ground salted peanuts, or
1 c shredded coconut
Combine potato, salt and vanilla in a 4-qt, mixing bowl. Sift confectioners sugar over potato, stirring and adding about 1 c at a time. Mixture will liquefy when sugar is added, then gradually begin to thicken. When it becomes the consistency of stiff dough, knead it even though all the sugar has not been added (likewise, add more sugar if needed).
After kneading, cover with a damp cloth; chill until a small spoonful can be rolled into a ball.
Shape in small (1/2") balls. Kip balls in melted chocolate, then roll in peanuts or coconut. Makes about 8 dozen 1/2" balls or 2 lbs.
