How to Prepare Peanut Butter Spirals

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cold mashed potatoes with salt and vanilla.

Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating after each addition.

At first the mixture will be stiff and hard to handle, but with beating it will become very liquid.

With the addition of the fourth cup, the mixture will become firm again.

Pour half of the mixture onto a board lightly dusted with powdered sugar.

Roll into a rectangle two inches thick.

Spread with half of the peanut butter.

Roll from the short side, jelly-roll style.

Repeat with the rest of the fondant.

Refrigerate until firm.

Cut into slices 1/4 inch thick.

Ingredients: Mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, salt, peanut butter, vanilla.
