Ingredients
- 1 piece Russet potato (medium-sized)
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potato and chop it into small cubes to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes into a medium saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the potato is fork-tender.
Step 3
Drain the cooked potato and mash it in a bowl until completely smooth with no lumps. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potato and unsalted butter. Mix until the butter melts and integrates into the potato.
Step 5
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the potato mixture. Stir well until you achieve a thick, smooth, and homogeneous fudge batter.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the fudge mixture into the pan and press it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the fudge sets completely.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve.
Step 10
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
