Potato Bounty

4 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cold mashed potatoes
  • 4 1/2 cups icing sugar
  • 4 cups desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder (bitter, not sweetened)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mash the icing sugar into the potatoes. It looks impossible but it will work! I found it easiest to use my hands, like I was making pastry.
  2. 2
    Add the coconut and the cocoa powder.
  3. 3
    Push into a rectangular dish/pan and flatten out until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. 4
    Chill in the fridge.
  5. 5
    Cut into squares and serve - sparingly! it's very, very sweet.
  6. 6
    I called it Potato Bounty, because the taste reminds me of the Bounty bar you can buy in the uk - don't know if it sells in the States too.
  7. 7
    Next time I might add chopped glace cherries, maybe some nuts too.
  8. 8
    5 minutes squidging time, about an hour chilling. No cooking.
