Mary Beth's Menu - Irish Potatoes

by on ‎02-24-2014 12:24 PM

Nothing cures a sweet tooth quite like Irish Potatoes. And another thing I love about them is they can be shaped into ovals or balls in any size you want. Make them bite size and watch how fast they disappear! 

This recipe was given to me by Karen Kennedy. The recipe is from Kilkenny County, which is between Tipperary and Wexford in Southern Ireland. That is where Karen Kennedy's family resided. 


Ingredients:



  • 1 cup of powdered (confectioner's) sugar

  • 1 cup sweetened coconut

  • 1-1/2 tablespoons Half & Half creamer

  • cinnamon


Place coconut in a mixing bowl and spring sugar over top. Stir in the half and half. Form into "potatoes" in the size of your choice. I like bite size. Set aside on a plate.


Pour a few tablespoons of cinnamon into a gallon size ziploc bag. Add a few potatoes at a time and shake the bag gently until all of the potatoes are fully coated with cinnamon. Pop one, or four, in your mouth and enjoy the luck of the Irish.


Counting our blessings,
