2 Unsweetened chocolate square
4 tb Butter
1/3 c Mashed potatoes
1/8 ts Salt
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 lb Confectioners’ sugar
Cook and mash a medium potato without using any seasoning, butter or milk.
Measure 1/3 cup. Melt chocolate and butter together. Blend into mashed
potatoes with the salt and vanilla. Mix well. Sift sugar. Add a small
amount at a time, blending until no sugar is visible. When a spoon is no
longer equal to the task of mixing, knead in the balance of the sugar with
well-buttered hands. Turn out onto a board and continue to knead until
mixture is smooth, glossy and pliable, buttering hands as necessary. No
crumbs should remain. Press into a buttered 8-inch square pan or shape into
balls and top each ball with a nutmeat
