I have made this recipe for years, it is delicious. I use a small potato, still makes a lot. Continue adding sugar until you have a soft dough that can be rolled out with a rolling pin. Usually takes about 2 lbs. of sugar. Keep refrigerated, it is soft. When you are serving the candy, then slice it and put on a plate. My mother-in-law, Beulah made this every Christmas. Little tricky to make but well worth it.

It didn't blend together all. I ended up throwing it away. Not very good start for my Christmas baking season. I tried to give this rating a negative star but it wouldn't let me.
