All you do for DELICIOUS potato candy is this

Boil a medium sized potato until done.  I leave the skin on and peel it
after it's cooked... as if I was making potato salad.  Mash the cooked
potato.  Then add powdered sugar until a dough forms.  I think it's
better to wait until the potato is cooled because if you don't, the
sugar melts and you seem to have to add alot more sugar than if the
potato were cooled.  Roll the dough out to whatever thickness you
like...

I usually roll it to about 1/4 inch or maybe a little thicker.  Spread
peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) onto the rolled out dough.  Roll the
candy up and wrap it in wax paper or plastic wrap.  Put it in the
refrigerator to harden it up alittle.  Slice and eat.  Yummm.
