Preparation

Portions
20
Ingredients
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) smooth, cold mashed potatoes (no butter or milk)
- 7.5 ml (1 1/2 tsp.) vanilla extract
- 750 ml (3 cups) powdered sugar
- 75 ml (1/3 cup) crunchy peanut butter
Preparation
In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes and vanilla.
Add powdered sugar a little at a time, using a wooden spoon, to make a soft, yet manageable dough.
Sprinkle a work surface with powdered sugar.
Knead the puree for a few minutes to give it the texture of pie dough.
On parchment paper, roll out dough to a 35 x 20 cm (14 x 8 in.) rectangle.
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for a few seconds and spread it over the dough.
Lifting the paper, roll the dough into a roll about 35 cm (14 inches) long.
Slide onto a baking sheet and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Cut into about 20 1-cm (1/2-inch) slices.
Keep in a sealed container.
