Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use a ricer instead of mashing the potato. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding vanilla extract or cinnamon to the mashed potato. You can substitute the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor profile, or use Nutella for a chocolatey twist. Ensure the mashed potato is completely cool before mixing in the powdered sugar to avoid melting.
