Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Liberally spray six 6 oz ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter.
- Alternative: Use a medium size stainless bowl that sits on top of a small saucepan (with water in saucepan) if you do not have a double boiler. Do not let any water get into the melting chocolate.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- In a large mixing bowl beat eggs with hand mixer for several minutes and thoroughly foamy.
- Add sugar, dry mashed potatoes, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, espresso powder and salt. Beat a couple of minutes to mix.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture and beat for five minutes. This recipe works best if lots of air is incorporated into the mixture to make the cakes light and airy.
- Pour into ramekins. DO NOT under bake or over bake the cakes. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Keep your eye on them; you want them to be molten (a bit soft in the middle), but not too much.
- Let them rest a few minutes before serving. The center may sink a little - don't worry.
- Run a thin knife around the inside edge to help release the cakes.
- Top with powdered sugar and whip cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a stand mixer, blend all dry ingredients together. Add the butter, water and eggs to the dry mixture and blend.
- To make Cake Pops: You will need a cake pop pan (can be found at Bed Bath and Beyond or Amazon.com), and 6-inch sucker sticks and a foam block (like a floral block) to allow pops to cool and set while decorating.
- Spray pan release on the cake pop pan. Add cake batter to the fill line of each hole.
- Secure the top of the cake pop pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool 10-15 minutes. Remove the top of the cake pop pan and gently run a butter knife around each cake pop to help release. Set cake pops aside.
- To make candy coating: Melt a 12 ounce bag of semisweet chocolate chips, and or white chocolate chips in a microwave, stirring often. Add a tablespoon of vegetable oil if coating is too thick after microwaving.
- Prepare bowls with toppings. Dip the end of each stick in chocolate coating and press into one end of a cake pop.
- When all the cake pops have sticks, place them in a freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate (this will help hold the sticks in place while dipping into additional coating).
- When pops have chilled, dip each pop in chocolate coating, taking care to seal the chocolate around the base of the stick.
- Decorate with desired sprinkles and chocolate drizzles.
- Set each pop into the floral block to let set.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 12-cup Bundt or tube pan with butter. Dust with cocoa, tapping out excess.
- Peel potato and coarsely chop. Place in a small saucepan and add enough water to cover. Heat over medium-high, bring to a boil, and cook until tender. Drain, then mash until no lumps remain. Measure out 3/4 cup for the recipe; set aside. Reserve the remainder for another use.
- Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and melted chocolate and beat until thoroughly incorporated. Add potato and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with sour cream, beating until just combined.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool completely. (Cake can be wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature up to 1 day or frozen up to 1 month.)
- When cake has completely cooled, slice with a serrated knife, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Potatoes in dessert? Many cooks never think of the possibility. But this delicious cake gets its moist texture from Idaho spuds. We raise them here on our farm, and our son has also developed and markets potato ice cream! -LaRene Reed, Idaho Falls, Idaho
