I always think of my Mom when I use my Kitchenaid mixer, she would have loved using one! And with St. Patrick's Day a few weeks away, I thought I'd share her Irish potato recipe. It's candy, but without any potatoes!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. butter, softened
2 lbs. confectioner's sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup finely shredded coconut
2 tsp. evaporated milk
1/2 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. cinnamon
4 Tbsp. confectioner's sugar
Directions:
In a mixer, cream butter. Gradually add sugar and salt. Add vanilla and evaporated milk. Mix in coconut. Chill for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll into potato-shaped balls.
In a bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar. Roll each "potato" in the mixture until well covered.
Enjoy!
