Donna- Potato Fudge recipe repost for Thia

[Guest guest]

Thanks Donna-- Sounds interesting! More work than the black bean one,

though, eh?? Actually, though, it was the " potato chip cookies " that I

was most interested in the recipe for. Do you have that?

 

I made a potato thing (for lack of a better word, at the moment) when I was

a teenager (OMG so many years ago) it was based on an item in Laurel's

Kitchen (My Fav book, been draggin' it around with me for 24+ years). I

didn't have half of the items, and did *quite* a bit of substituting (lol).

They were to be a savory appetizer type thing. My brother snitched one as

he walked though the kitchen, and said " Great cookies! " I remember looking

at him quite puzzled, and thinking how could he think they are cookies!

it's potato!!

 

So, your " potato chip cookies " has brought that memory up, and made me smile

today. And I am awfully interested in that recipe!
