Old-Fashioned Potato Candy

I love candy of any kind almost.

Old-Fashioned Potato candy

1 small potato, boiled
1 Tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 box confectioners sugar
peanut butter
chopped nutmeats or colored sugar

Mash potato, butter and vanilla together. Gradually add enough confectioners sugar to make a rather stiff fondant. Roll flat, between 2 sheets of waxed paper, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread with crunchy peanut butter. Roll like jelly roll to 1 -1 1/2-inch pieces. Colored sugar may be made by dropping a few drops of food coloring into sugar and mixing well.
Other fillings such as chopped dates, candied fruits, may be used instead of peanut butter. Roll may be cut into several parts and each rolled in different sugars or nuts.
