Ingredients:

1/4 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup shredded coconut
1 tablespoon butter
2 drops green food coloring
Cinnamon

Instructions:

Place mashed potatoes in a large mixing bowl.  Add green food coloring and mix well.  Stir in salt, sugar, vanilla, coconut and butter.  Remove from bowl and knead for about 5 minutes.  Add a little more sugar if necessary to keep the dough stiff while kneading.  Tear off small amounts of dough and roll into log shapes.  The amount of dough you use will determine the size of each piece of candy.  Roll in the cinnamon.  Place candy on wax paper.  Allow candy to set for at least one hour before storing.
