OLD FASHIONED POTATO CANDY
This is a recipe from my past. My best friend in middle school hailed from W. Virginia, and this was a common candy made around holidays. I thought she was crazy, but I did try it... and wow! It just tasted like good peanut butter candy! She passed away in 1991 and I still miss her to this day. This one is for you Marge. Hope...

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The candy turned out hard and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I used the wrong type of potatoes? I'm not sure, but I won't be making this recipe again.
