These moist and cakey brownies came from my mom’s old cookbook. Mashed potatoes may seem like an unusual ingredient, but this recipe took first place at a local festival.—Marlene Gerer, Denton, Montana
Ingredients:
3/4 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sugars, oil, eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to potato mixture. Fold in pecans if desired. Transfer to a greased 9-in. square baking pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 23-27 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars. Yield: 16 servings.
