Chill Time: 1 hour

Total: 2 hours

Serves:

Ingredients

½cupmashed potatoes
½cupsalted butter,softened
6cupspowdered sugar,plus additional for dusting
2tspvanilla extract
creamy peanut butter,for filling

Instructions

With an electric mixer, combine the mashed potatoes, butter, and 1 cup of sugar.
Add in remaining sugar, one cup at a time. Stir in the vanilla.
Refrigerate the filling for 1 hour.
Once chilled, divide the dough into 2 pieces and place 1 piece on a clean surface dusted generously with powdered sugar.
Dust the surface of the dough with additional sugar, and use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
Spread dough evenly with peanut butter, leaving a small amount of space peanut butter-free around the perimeter of the dough. Starting with the longer side of the rectangle, gently but tightly roll into a lot.
Use a knife to slice into pieces about ½-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough.
Serve and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

If the dough is not moldable in your hands and can’t be rolled into a ball, continue to add sugar until it is firm.
Make sure that your dough can be rolled at this point, if it’s too sticky or falling apart, you may need to add more sugar, re-shape it into a ball, and start over.
