Potato Fudge Recipes

POTATO FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 9" x 9" pan with waxed paper or foil and set aside.
• (This can also be done in an 8"x8" pan, but your fudge will be thicker, obviously) Heat butter and potatoes and mix until potatoes are creamy and well-blended.
• Drier potatoes will work better so if you are using mashed potatoes that are a little wet, you may want to heat them to evaporate some of the liquid.
• Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
• Add sugar, salt, and corn syup.
• Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
• Continue to boil for about 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and mix.
• Bring back to a boil for about 3 minutes or until the boiling temperature reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.
• Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, chocolate chips and vanilla.
• Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
• Chill.
• Remove from pan, remove paper or foil, cut into squares.
• Decorate with powdered sugar, a blend of powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder, or if you would like, you may melt some chocolate over a double boiler and dip in chocolate and let set on waxed paper.
