Thanks in advance ============================ From: prissb@prissb.sdi.agate.net (Skeeter) Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1997 21:33:22 GMT -------- Could you be a little more specific? I always thought that Irish Portatoes was another name for white potatoes. ============================ From: Kate Connally Date: Wed, 12 Feb 1997 10:28:41 -0800 -------- Do you mean actual potatoes or do you mean the candy called Irish Potatoes, which uses mashed potato, powdered sugar, and coconut and is shaped like a potato and rolled in cocoa and studded with pine nuts for the "eyes"? ============================ From: prncssdi@ix.netcom.com(Princess Di) Date: 11 Feb 1997 23:52:38 GMT -------- What we consider Irish potatoes are sliced peeled potatoes fried in a bit of butter or oil with sliced peppers and onions. Yummmm! ============================ From: rain@hothouse.iglou.com (Rain) Date: Tue, 11 Feb 1997 01:43:00 GMT -------- Everywhere I've seen or heard it, "Irish potatoes" was simply another name for white potatoes as opposed to sweet potatoes. Did you have a more specific Irish potato dish in mind? if you can describe it, I might have a recipe. ============================ From: zimm@hmivax.humgen.upenn.edu (Laurie Z.) Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 09:46:09 -0500 -------- The recipe seeker may be looking for the candy which contains cream cheese, a bit of potato, sugar, perhaps coconut, rolled into balls and dusted in cinnamon. We see them in PA around St. Pats. ============================ From: Robert Wolf Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 19:28:10 -0800 -------- Laurie Z. wrote: > The recipe seeker may be looking for the candy which contains cream > cheese, a bit of potato, sugar, perhaps coconut, rolled into balls and > dusted in cinnamon. 2 boxes Conf. sugar 1 8oz pkg cream cheese 2 tbl vanilla 1 7oz pkg. coconut cinnamon Soften cream cheese, mix all ingredients except cinnamon.
