Potato Chocolate Fudge

POTATO CHOCOLATE FUDGE

* 2 Unsweetened chocolate square
* 4 tb Butter
* 1/3 c Mashed potatoes
* 1/8 ts Salt
* 1 ts Vanilla extract
* 1 lb Confectioners' sugar

Cook and mash a medium potato without using any seasoning, butter or milk. Measure 1/3 cup. Melt chocolate and butter together. Blend into mashed potatoes with the salt and vanilla. Mix well. Sift sugar. Add a small amount at a time, blending until no sugar is visible. When a spoon is no longer equal to the task of mixing, knead in the balance of the sugar with well-buttered hands. Turn out onto a board and continue to knead until mixture is smooth, glossy and pliable, buttering hands as necessary. No crumbs should remain. Press into a buttered 8-inch square pan or shape into balls and top each ball with nutmeg.
