Irish Candy Potatoes. Have you ever heard of them? Or had them before? I’m about to tell you all about this sweet St Patrick’s Day Food!

Contrary to the name, there are no potatoes involved in making them!

They are a bite sized sweet treat rolled in cinnamon & sugar.

I’m sharing the recipe with you below: no baking required, few ingredients and easy to make! I hope you enjoy!

St Patrick’s day Food : Irish Candy Potatoes

These are a St. Patrick’s Day family tradition of mine and I’m sharing them with you today: Recipe makes about 70 bite sized balls; you can halve the recipe if you want to make a smaller amount.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs powdered sugar
  • 1 (8oz) block of cream cheese
  • 4 Tablespoons of butter softened
  • Pinch of salt
  • Shredded coconut to taste
  • Cinnamon & sugar

 

Directions:

  • Cream the butter and cream cheese together in a mixer or with a hand mixer.
  • Mix in salt and shredded coconut to taste
  • Mix in powdered sugar
  • Knead mixture for a few minutes to make sure everything is incorporated.
  • Pinch off bite sized pieces and roll into a ball.
  • Roll candy balls in a bowl with a mixture of cinnamon & sugar mixed together.
  • Chill for several hours before serving.
  • Enjoy!

 

I store them in the fridge in food storage containers — and serving them on this shamrock plate is fun and festive!

 

This Irish Treat is the perfect St Patrick’s Day food for yourself, a party, or to give away!  Making them can also be a fun activity with kids or with friends & family!

VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA Comment “GIFT” and I VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA  Comment “GIFT” and I’ll send you a direct message with the links to shop!  💕This heart pillow makes the perfect gift for friends and family - especially those who live far away! It’s like giving and receiving a hug!  💕The pillow is soft and the perfect size — making it a cute piece of decor on a couch or bed too.  💕The sweetest note is included that I think adds a personal and perfect touch! This pillow comes in plenty of pretty colors but they tend to sell out or colors get limited during Valentines Day.  💕But save this post for later because it makes a great gift throughout the year too.  It’s a perfect ‘just because’ or ‘thinking of you’ gift - or if someone close to you is going through an illness or tough time.  💕I’m about to put this one in the mail to someone special - and I can’t wait for them to get it! 🥰 And if you give this (or get this) pillow, I hope you enjoy too! 🫶  #valentinesgift #valentinesdaygift #valentinegifts #valentinegiftideas #valentinegiftsforher #valentinegiftidea #heartpillow #valentinesday #valentinesday2024 #valentinesdayideas

Tips for a  Valentine Charcuterie Board:  ❤️Choose your theme: pick a theme for your board like: meats & cheese & fruit (that is what I did - with a few sweet cookies thrown in), a candy board with different types of candies, a breakfast board, fruit board, etc.  ❤️Place a few larger pieces in separate spots on the board for focal points and fill in with smaller items.  ❤️Have fun with it!
