Potato Chocolate Fudge
2 (1 ounce)
squares unsweetened chocolate
4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup mashed potatoes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound confectioners’ sugar
Cook and mash a medium potato without using any seasoning, butter or milk.
Measure 1/3 cup. Melt chocolate and butter together. Blend into mashed potatoes
with the salt and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Sift sugar. Add a small amount at a time, blending until no
sugar is visible. When unable to mix with a spoon any longer, knead in the
remaining sugar with well-buttered hands.
Turn out onto a board and continue to knead until mixture is smooth, glossy and
pliable, buttering hands as necessary. No crumbs should remain.
Press into a buttered 8-inch square pan or shape into balls
and top each ball with nutmeg.
