How to Make Chocolate Tater Fudge

  1. Peel and cook the russet potato until tender. (Boiling or microwaving works well)
  2. Mash the cooked potato with 1/4 cup of milk until light and fluffy. Add more milk if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
  3. Set the mashed potatoes aside.
  4. Line an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan with foil, letting the foil extend over the edges for easy removal.
  5. Lightly grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth).
  7. Stir in the mashed potatoes, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  9. Stir in half of the chopped peanuts.
  10. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and press down evenly to create a flat surface.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining peanuts over the top and gently press them into the fudge.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  13. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares.
  14. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  15. Yield: Approximately 32 pieces
