COCONUT-FREE IRISH POTATOES CANDY
I was frantically searching for a non-coconut recipe for Irish Potatoes for St. Patrick's day. I recently became allergic to coconut, so I made this recipe up after not being able to find an alternative online or in any cookbooks I have at home. I think the almonds are a nice twist and help maintain the consistency of the ball instead of just omitting coconut from other recipes I've seen. This is a good no-bake recipe. It is simple to make and easy to eat.

Steps:
- Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely ground. Pour cinnamon into a rimmed plate.
- Mix cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until evenly blended. Place the bowl into a large pan filled with ice to help mixture stiffen; make sure butter mixture does not spill out of the bowl.
- Sift confectioners' sugar into the butter mixture. Add ground almonds and stir until combined. Let mixture rest on ice for 5 minutes.
- Roll mixture into 1/2-inch balls and roll in cinnamon until coated. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.

IRISH POTATOES CANDY
This recipe contains no potatoes. It gets it name from the look of the candy. I have not tried this recipe myself. It is for an ISO request. Recipe says you can also dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs.

IRISH POTATO CANDY
These do contain potato, but they don't contain coconut! I made this for Saint Patrick's Day with my class years ago when I was in third grade. Later, right before I graduated from high school, I tracked down my former teacher and got her to give me this recipe. It's easy and fun for kids, and making them was such a wonderful memory for me.

Steps:
- Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla.
- Adding one cup at a time, blend in enough confectioners' sugar to form stiff, non-sticky dough. (Just how much sugar is needed will depend on moisture of potatoes. Baked potatoes tend to be drier than boiled; leftovers tend to be drier than fresh.)
- Working with about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each candy, shape into small irregular spheres (like new potatoes) and set out on wax paper to dry slightly before coating.
- Toss candies a few at a time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon.
- Shake off excess cinnamon.
- Store candies in cool place or refrigerate.
