- Gradually add powdered sugar to the mashed potato mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until you have a dough-like consistency. You may need to adjust the amount of powdered sugar depending on the moisture content of the potato.
- Sprinkle some powdered sugar on a clean surface and roll out the potato dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread a layer of peanut butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Carefully roll up the dough into a log, starting from one of the longer sides.

- Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
