8. You could make potato candy

Peel a white potato, cut it in cubes and cook it in a little water till very tender. Drain the potato pieces and mash them. You don't need to add anything, but let them cool a little. Then add confectioner's sugar until you have a stiff dougn. Roll it out on waxed paper and when cool, cut it in squares. There are recipes online and you can probably add flavor or sprinkles to make it festive. You could probably use cookie cutters to make shapes. I made it in high school for the weekly candy sale to raise money for the senior trip. I was hopeless at making fudge, so some of the other students told me how to make potato candy. Thankfully, the kids in my class took turns to supply candy through the school year.
