Step 2

Transfer potato to a large bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.

Gradually stir confectioners' sugar into mashed potato a little at a time until the mixture forms a stiff dough. The dough will be runny until all the powdered sugar is used.

Step 5

Spread peanut butter over top of dough covering it entirely.

Step 6

Pick up one edge of waxed paper and start rolling the dough to make a 12-inch-long log. Wrap log tightly with waxed paper.
