Is it a weird thing to use potatoes in sweet dishes? My mom/grandma/aunts always made needhams[1] with the bulk of the filling being mashed potatoes. Boiled potatoes without anything added to them are about as close to tasteless as you can get.

- camtarn 10y agoThe recipe we've used for Scottish macaroons involves roughly an entire bag of icing sugar, about the same amount of coconut, and one small boiled potato :)
- kwhitefoot 10y agoDepends on the potato. Try Norwegian mandel potet. Delicious. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond_potato https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond_potato).
- riffraff 10y agoit's a rather common ingredient in sweet doughs, but I had never heard of it being used as a filling, interesting!
- elcapitan 10y ago> Boiled potatoes without anything added to them are about as close to tasteless as you can get. Hm, not my experience, but there are many types of potatoes, and usual supermarkets often stock only 2-3 that are cheaply available.
