Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 5 ounces evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup mashed potatoes (approx.)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
- Line a 9" x 9" pan with waxed paper or foil and set aside.
- (This can also be done in an 8"x8" pan, but your fudge will be thicker, obviously) Heat butter and potatoes and mix until potatoes are creamy and well-blended.
- Drier potatoes will work better so if you are using mashed potatoes that are a little wet, you may want to heat them to evaporate some of the liquid.
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
- Add sugar, salt, and corn syup.
- Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
- Continue to boil for about 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and mix.
- Bring back to a boil for about 3 minutes or until the boiling temperature reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, chocolate chips and vanilla.
- Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
- Chill.
- Remove from pan, remove paper or foil, cut into squares.
- Decorate with powdered sugar, a blend of powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder, or if you would like, you may melt some chocolate over a double boiler and dip in chocolate and let set on waxed paper.
