1-First Steps: Mixing the Dough: Start by peeling and boiling your potatoes until they’re tender, which takes about 15-20 minutes, then mash them thoroughly to remove any lumps. Once mashed, let the potatoes cool completely at room temperature to avoid a watery dough this tip helps prevent issues from potato quality, cooking time, or humidity. In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, softened salted butter, and one cup of powdered sugar using an electric mixer until everything combines smoothly.

2-Building the Dough: Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the dough becomes firm and easy to mold if it stays sticky, you can add up to two more cups as needed. Stir in the two teaspoons of vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost, then refrigerate the dough for 30 to 60 minutes so it chills without getting too brittle. This step ensures your dough rolls out nicely and doesn’t stick to your surface.

3-Rolling and Filling: Divide the dough into two pieces for easier handling. On a surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll each piece into a rectangle about a quarter-inch thick. Spread creamy peanut butter evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to keep things neat. Carefully roll the dough tightly from the longer side into a log shape, then cut it into slices about a quarter to half an inch thick. Repeat with the second piece, and you’re all set.

4- Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them thoroughly to remove lumps. Allow mashed potatoes to cool completely to room temperature to prevent melting the sugar. Gradually mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until a smooth, pliable dough forms, adjusting sugar for desired consistency. Roll the dough onto a powdered sugar-dusted surface to about 1/4 inch thickness, spread peanut butter, and roll into a log. Wrap and refrigerate for chilling, then slice into pieces.
