Potato candy is a simple, nostalgic treat. Mix mashed potatoes with powdered sugar to create a dough-like consistency. The starch in the mashed potatoes helps hold the mixture together.

Spudnuts, or potato donuts, have origins in German baking. Like bread, spudnuts use mashed potatoes. After deep frying, the outside will be slightly crispy with a fluffy interior. For a recipe that uses raw potatoes, try chocolate potato cake. Raw, shredded potatoes provide moisture for the cake, but the taste is covered by the chocolate. The same properties that make potatoes great for cleaning glass make them ideal for polishing.
For a spa-like treatment, cut slices of potatoes and place them over your eyes. Like cucumbers, the vitamins, moisture and coolness will help reduce puffiness and dark circles around your eyes.
