Ingredients

• 1 piece Russet potato (medium-sized, peeled)
• 6 cups Powdered sugar (sifted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potato and cut it into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a medium saucepan, fill the pan with water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potato pieces are soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Drain the cooked potato and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Mash thoroughly with a potato masher or a fork until completely smooth. Allow the mashed potato to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Add vanilla extract to the mashed potato. Slowly begin incorporating the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 6

Continue adding powdered sugar until the mixture forms a stiff, non-sticky dough. The dough should be pliable but firm enough to roll out without breaking.

Step 7

Lightly dust a clean surface with powdered sugar and roll the dough out into a rectangular shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Spread an even layer of peanut butter over the entire surface of the rolled-out dough.

Step 9

Starting at one of the shorter ends of the rectangle, carefully roll the dough into a tight spiral, similar to a jelly roll.

Step 10

Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 11

Once chilled, remove the plastic wrap and cut the roll into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.

Step 12

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
