Ingredients
- ½ cup plain mashed potatoes*
- 6 to 7 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter**
Instructions
- Mix together the mashed potatoes, 1 cup of powdered sugar, the salt and the vanilla.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition until the mixture forms a dough, slightly thicker than a cookie dough.
- Lightly sprinkle your surface with powdered sugar, and roll out the dough into a rectangle shape about ¼" thick.
- Spread the peanut butter in a thin layer all over the dough, leaving about a ½" space around the edges.
- Roll the dough up lengthwise, and wrap tightly in plastic or wax paper. Chill for about 1 hour, then cut into ¼" to ½" slices.
Notes
*You can use instant mashed potatoes for this, and ½ cup would be about 1 Russet potato.
**You can use any nut or seed butter you like or even swap it for nutella or cookie butter
