Hi! I'm Erin from
That's me with my husband and our two stinks-- 4 and 8 months.
is all about
do-able crafts, pretty amazing recipes (if I do say so myself), ideas, and kid stuff, topped off with a healthy dose of our
Ca-Razy home renovation . We are gutting this joint, I tell you.
Here are a few of my recent projects.
Basically, I'd do a back flip if you stopped by.
{Big hugs to Tyra for having me.}

Today, I'm sharing a recipe for some yummy little morsels...{{St. Patty's Peppermint Patties}}with a secret ingredient: mashed potatoes Whoa. Hold on, sister. MASHED POTATOES?! You heard me.

They taste even better than those other patties from the store that rhyme with Zork.
The mashed po-tay-tahs give them just the right texture.
You must try them.
Ingredients:
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
2 T. melted butter
2 t. peppermint extract
10 cups powdered sugar
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 T. vegetable oil
In a bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients and mix well. You may need to add more sugar if your mixture is too runny--it should feel like a dough.
Scoop teaspoonfuls of the dough and shape into patties. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for a few hours.
Melt the chocolates with the oil and dip the chilled patties, covering completely. Chill until set.

Potatoes in peppermint candy?! How crazy is that, we are going to try this! Thanks for all of the yummy ideas!!
Erin,
Big hugs to you for being here! Thanks for an innovative recipe - I love "Zorks" (hee-hee) but they're expensive when you can eat a whole bag in a sitting! I will be trying these! How long will they keep? I mean, unless I eat them all in one sitting? And should I refrigerate leftovers? Assuming there are any? Which there probably won't be?
Thanks!
You probably should refrigerate leftovers. Also, that's approximately how much sugar I used. You may want to use a little more or less-- it doesn't really matter as long as your dough is semi-stiff (able to roll in balls and keep their shape).
Potatoes????? That is so cool. I have a picky eater who does not eat veggies and I love sneaking something in there hat she doesn't know about. hee hee Thse look so good. Thanks.
Umm.....YUM! So trying these, as in right now...I'm on my way to the kitchen to make mashed potatoes as we speak....
Must....try....these....!!! as soon as I'm moved! Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum! The 'store' version of these are some of my favorite treats. I can not wait to try these out and it will be so cool to tell the people who try them that they have mashed potatoes in them! Haha! :)
QUESTION: When I mash my potatoes, I use butter and salt--is that o.k. or should I just make a special batch???
Is it ok that my mashed have butter and salt or do I need to make a special batch?
Mashed potatoes? Oh dear, I'm not sure I'm brave enough!
