My grandmother used to make this all the time when the grand kids were around. Don't remember what it was called and would love to find the recipe so I could share with a new generation.

Thanks for posting! I'm having a bad headache day today, but this sure did shine a nice bright spot for me.

INGREDIENTS
1 small russet potato, peeled and sliced
6-8 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup peanut butter

INSTRUCTIONS
Place potato in a small pan and cover with water. Cook until very tender. Drain and place in a large bowl.
Use a hand mixer to beat the potato until it is lump-free.
Add 4 cups of powdered sugar and beat until mixed well.
Continue to mix powdered sugar in 1 cup at a time until thick. (It should have the consistency of putty or cookie dough.
Place on a large piece of waxed paper that has been lightly coated with powdered sugar. Sprinkle some more powdered sugar on top.
Roll potato mixture out into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
Spread evenly with peanut butter.
Starting at a long side, roll up tightly like you would cinnamon rolls. Wrap in wax paper, cut in half and place both pieces in a large ziptop bag.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

It takes a lot of time and a bunch of hand strength to get that much powdered sugar mixed into so little potato.

Hope it’s worth it.

Looks like a potato and peanut butter torte. Challenging cuisine, to say the least.

Any sauce to go with that?

A light drizzle of a nice dark chocolate would make a great addition.
