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!
