INSTRUCTIONS
In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, cream together
the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the vanilla and confectioners' sugar.
With a spoon, stir in the coconut. Roll the mixture between your hands to
form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls. Place the
cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the cinnamon, then place on a
cookie sheet, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
Note: Make sure to use regular cream cheese, not a whipped or reduced-fat
type. And if you prefer "dirtier" potatoes, roll the candies a second time
in additional cinnamon after they've chilled.
