Potato Appetizers

I had some Yukon potatoes that needed to get use up.This is what I decided to do with them. They turned out really well.

When doing this it reminded me of the days before CHIP. I use to make lots of home made candies for Christmas. this is a far cry from those days. but very healthy and tasty.

Comments from Verna's Test Kitchen:

1. Use any ingredients you like.
2. Nutritional Yeast would be great in these.
3. When adding spices, I would recommend adding lots of flavor.
4. Wouldn't these be great dipped in a white sauce-something with a tofu sour cream base.
