About this Recipe

A bit of a misnomer, these candies contain no potato or are from Ireland!

They have Philadelphia roots and resemble an adorable spud and no heat is required. The inside is a mixture of coconut and cream cheese and they get their festive green color from Matcha green tea. A quick roll in some cinnamon and these bite size treats are great for any St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Instructions

1
Place the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, salt and Matcha in the bowl and whisk until smooth. 
2
Gradually add the powdered sugar. When all of the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the coconut and knead the mixture using your hands until incorporated.
3
Using a small ice-cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop out evenly portioned pieces of the dough onto a baking sheet. Using your hands shape the dough to resemble mini potatoes. If you find the mixture to be too sticky refrigerate for 20 minutes. 
4
Add the cinnamon in a small bowl. Place the shaped candies in the cinnamon bowl and roll the candy until completely coated in the cinnamon. Repeat with remaining candies and refrigerate before serving.
