Bake Brownies Today

SUPER SPUD BROWNIES
A super use for mashed potatoes.
Instead of throwing away the last dollop of mashed potatoes
now you use them up creatively!

Moist and cakey Brownies
This is a copy of a recipe I received from some one? Somewhere? Sometime?
It had been originally published in a magazine? And submitted by Marlene Gerer
who got the recipe for Moist and Cakey Brownies from her Mom's old Cookbook.

3/4 Cup Mashed Potatoes
1/2 Sugar
1/2 Cup packed brown sugar
1/2 Canola oil
(I substitute 1/4 cup apple sauce for 1/4 of the oil)
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2 Cup All purpose
1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/8 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup chopped Pecans (Optional)
Confectioners Sugar

In one large bowl,
Combine the mashed potatoes, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla.
In another bowl
Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt ;
Gradually add to potato mixture.
Fold in Pecans.
Transfer to a greased 9 inch square baking pan.
Bake at 350 degree for 23-27 minutes.
(or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.)
Cool on wire rack.
Dust with Confectioners Sugar or Cocoa Powder
Or
Finely Grated Chocolate..... 
Serve warm with a dollop of plain yogurt or whip cream on the top.

You Melt my Heart
After Easter stock up on assorted solid chocolate bunnies 'n things.
At half the regular price they are cheaper than buying bags of chocolate chips.
Use a hammer to break up chunks ( in a fairly heavy plastic bag) for cookies
and keep bigger chunks for grating in and on cakes.
Chocolate freeze  well..
Frozen or aging chocolate will turn a little spotty white
but it does not destroy the taste or the quality of the chocolate.
You can shave the chocolate with a sharp knife to remove the white if you like.
