"Growing up, we loved having mashed potatoes for dinner because mashed potato candy was always coming for dessert!
"Mom made a dough with mashed potatoes and confectioner’s sugar, rolled it out into a sheet, spread peanut butter on top, then rolled it into a log and cut it into pinwheels. This is the only variation I’m aware of because I’ve never heard of anyone else making it or even mentioning it!
"Mom grew up in far western Ohio, where there were a lot of settlers who had settled in Pennsylvania for a generation or two before moving further west."
She said that if mashed potato candy is in fact added to the Unionville Community Fair baking competition, she will definitely enter hers.
