Irish Potatoes Candy image

This recipe contains no potatoes. It gets it name from the look of the candy. I have not tried this recipe myself. It is for an ISO request. Recipe says you can also dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs.

Categories     Candy

Time 1h30m

Yield 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup softened butter
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut (2 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • NOTE: Be sure to use regular cream cheese, not whipped or reduced fat type.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese.
  • Add vanilla and confectioners' sugar.
  • Beat until mixture forms a ball.
  • Stir in coconut with a spoon.
  • Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls.
  • Place cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the balls in it.
  • Place the balls on a cookie sheet and chill for about 1 hour or until firm.
  • If you prefer "dirtier potatoes" roll the candy a second time after they have chilled.
  • Alternatively dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs.

These potatoes were a bit too crispy. I would recommend baking them for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but these were really good! The crispy outside and fluffy inside were the perfect combination.

I made these potatoes last night and they were delicious! The only change I made was to add a little bit of garlic powder to the potatoes before baking. I will definitely be making these again!
