Irish Potatoes

Okay, I'll let the Irish be Irish for this week. Us Italians are Italians all year round.

Irish Potatoes are very simple to make. I assisted my daughter in making a batch. Using a hand blender, mix 4 oz of cream cheese and one stick of butter. Then add a tsp of vanilla extract, 4 cups of confectioners sugar and blend till smooth. Fold in 2 1/2 cups of coconut. Next, form little tiny potatoes and then roll in Cinnamon. Refrigerate for one hour before serving.

I brought 2 dozen of these to our neighborhood poker social and before I even had one they were gone.

To clarify, we did not get a new dog, Max just had his spring shaving. Hopefully it will keep the hair out of the food.
