‘Oh Ryan’s Irish Potatoes’ contain raw egg white! (I have no idea why, but I wrote to them to ask) Butter & vanilla aren’t necessary–they don’t make much difference in taste, but they DO make the ‘dough’ very sticky. This year, try this EASY recipe from another Philly girl: (just 3 ingredients dusted with cinnamon) ENJOY!

–1 (8oz) block of cream cheese
–2 lbs of powdered sugar (sweetened or unsweetened–makes no difference)
–1 sm bag of coconut

–After rolling 5 or 6 into small balls, shake in a snack-size ziploc bag of cinnamon.
DON’T FILL THE BAG–just a few shakes is enough to dust the ‘potatoes’
(when the cinnamon gets too dark from moisture, use another snack-size bag of cinnamon)

Using this ratio of the sugar & cream cheese (cut in half, if fewer are desired) makes a TIGHT,THICK PIE-LIKE DOUGH that’s easy to roll into balls without chilling (but I chill afterwards because I think they taste better & are firmer). Using a mixer with dough hooks makes an easy job of it.

HAPPY ST PATRICK’S DAY!
