Norway!?!?!?! Potato candy in Norway ?!?!?!?! I've always thought they
were a French Canadian "ethnic" dish!! So much for my roots!!

Ingredients:

    Cold left-over mashed potatoes, about the size of a large egg
    1 Kg of icing sugar
    1 jar of peanut butter

Preparation:

    Slowly incorporate the icing sugar in the mashed potatoes by mixing
    by hand. Keep incorporating sugar until you get a stiff dough.
    Note: the mixture will go through a very liquid stage before
    becoming thicker.

    Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to about 5mm thickness on a
    sheet of waxed paper. Use icing sugar to powder the surface and the
    rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.

    Spread the peanut butter on the dough then roll into a cigar about
    2-3cm in diameter. Slice every 1cm and let cool.

    Serve and have your guest try to guess what these things are made
    of.  When properly made, they look quite nice: a brown swirl in a
    white cream.
