You take and peel a potato and put it in some water (DON'T ADD SALT) and you let it cook until soft.  When it is cooked you drain it and take a fork and smash it then you add your vanilla in and then add confectionery sugar until it is hard to mix.  Then you take and spread out a piece of wax paper and you sprinkle it with confectionery sugar and then you put your fix on there and roll it out to however thick you want it and you spread peanut butter to your desired thickness and roll it up and when you are finished rolling it put it in the refrigerator for 30 min - 1 hr until chilled.
