This recipe is one of two on a sheet of paper from a Methodist church in Millard, Nebraska.

I am sure it is one of the recipes Mom used when making those individual mints she served at showers and open houses. I remember making these and how time consuming the process was.

Ingredients

1 small potato

powdered sugar

flavoring

coloring

1 tablespoon butter

Method

1. Boil potato and mash. Add enough powdered sugar so it can be molded in

hands.

2. Divide and color and flavor as desired.

3. Roll into balls the size of a marble.

4. Roll into granulated sugar and press into mold.

5. Unmold at once on waxed paper.

6. Molds should be rinsed in warm water until clean.

7. They should not come in contact with grease or detergent.

Barb’s note: The person who typed this recipe spelled potato “potatoo” both times it is

entered. Is Dan Quayle from Nebraska?
