For best results, use a high-quality, creamy peanut butter. Avoid peanut butter with added sugar or stabilizers. Ensure that the mashed potatoes are completely cooled before mixing to prevent the confectioners' sugar from melting. If the dough becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up. Store leftover peanut butter potato candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

StepGradually incorporate the confectioners' sugar into the potato mixture, mixing until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time. (Mixing time: 10-15 minutes)

StepWrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until well-chilled. (Chill time: 1 hour)

05
StepRoll the chilled dough into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick. (Rolling time: 5-7 minutes)
06
StepSpread an even layer of peanut butter over the entire surface of the dough rectangle, leaving a small border at one edge. (Spreading time: 2-3 minutes)
07
StepStarting from the opposite edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight jelly-roll shape. (Rolling time: 3-5 minutes)
08
StepWrap the peanut butter-filled roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. (Chill time: 1 hour)
09
StepUsing a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/4-inch thick pinwheels. (Slicing time: 5 minutes)
