Chocolate Mashed Potato Truffles
These simple chocolate truffles have a healthy little secret: They’re made with mashed potatoes (yup, you read that right)! With just 4 ingredients and an irresistibly decadent flavor, our chocolate mashed potato truffles are proof that potatoes aren't just for dinner.
Servings: 16 truffles
Ingredients
- 2 4-oz bars semisweet chocolate or 2 cups of chocolate chips
- 1 cup unflavored mashed potatoes cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 mL
- pinch salt
- ¼ cup coating chopped pistachios, cocoa powder, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Chocolate: Add chocolate to a glass mixing bowl. Bring a small pot of water to a simmer, then set the bowl of chocolate over the boiling pot (the bottom of the bowl should hover over the water but not touch it). Stir constantly until the chocolate chips have melted, then remove the bowl from above the water.
- Mix: In a large bowl, stir together melted chocolate, mashed potatoes, vanilla, and salt. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Roll: Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls, then roll in your desired coating.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. I find storing them in single levels helpful so they don't become squished.
