Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 200 g marzipan
  • 1-2 drops almond extract
  • 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar, sifted optional, for texture
  • 2-3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder for coating

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, knead the marzipan with almond extract until smooth. If the mixture is too soft, add powdered sugar to firm it up a bit.
  2. Divide the marzipan into several equal portions. Roll each piece into small balls or ovals to resemble tiny potatoes.
  3. Roll each marzipan ball in cocoa powder until evenly coated. Shake off any excess cocoa using a sieve or colander.
  4. Arrange your marzipan potatoes on a serving plate or present them in small decorative boxes if you're gifting them.

Notes

Store marzipan potatoes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
