Irish Potato Candy (March) Preparation

In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, cream together the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the vanilla and confectioners” sugar. With a spoon, stir in the coconut. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls. Place the cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the cinnamon, then place on a cookie sheet, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, until firm. Note: Make sure to use regular cream cheese, not a whipped or reduced-fat type. And if you prefer dirtier potatoes, roll the candies a second time in additional cinnamon after they”ve chilled. This recipe comes from; Mr. Food
