Potato fudge recipe?

[MannaPubl]

Hello all. First time post for me -- please excuse me if I am not posting this
correctly:)

I am looking for a recipe for mashed potato fudge. It's a way to use leftover
MP's, and it is probably very similar to the receipe sometimes used as a center
for chocolate-covered Easter eggs.

My co-workers thought I was making this up! Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks in advance,

4 cups confectioner's sugar
4 cups coconut -- chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
