1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the blueberries were tough. I won't be making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my blueberry potato cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
