• 1 cup of warm unseasoned mashed potatoes
• pinch of salt
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
• 2 lbs. of confectioners' sugar
• vanilla flavoring (optional)
• Coconut (optional)
• Chopped nuts (optional)
• Dipping chocolate

• Combine potatoes, salt and vanilla in a 4 quart mixing bowl.
  
  
• Sift confectioners' sugar over potato, stirring and adding about 1 cup at a time.
  
  
• Mixture will liquefy when first sugar is added, then gradually begin to thicken.
  
  
• When it becomes the consistency of stiff dough, knead it even though all of the sugar hasn't been added or add more sugar to make a stiff dough if needed.
  
  
• Add flavoring, coconut or chopped nuts and mix thoroughly.
  
  
• After kneading, cover with a damp cloth; chill until a small amount can be rolled into a ball.
