Ingredients:
4 oz potato
16 oz icing (powdered) sugar
Milk or dark chocolate (around 200g)
150g coconut

Boil the unpeeled potato in water (no salt!) and then peel and cut into cubes. Mash really well or use a food processor to get a smooth creamy consistency with no lumps. Allow to cool completely then add the sugar around half a cup at a time. Once all of the sugar is added the mixture should be very stiff. Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and smooth out to the corners. Place in the freezer to set for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Once set, split your coconut into two and spread one half onto a baking sheet and put it into the oven to toast for about 5 minutes until golden. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 10 second bursts (don't let it get to hot) and cut the potato mixture into squares. Dip the squares into the chocolate and then immediately into the coconut and roll until evenly covered on all sides. Transfer onto baking parchment and place in the fridge to set.
