Directions:
1. In a large bowl beat cream cheese and butter with an electric
mixer 30 seconds. Add coconut, vanilla, and salt. Beat until
combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until combined.
2. Divide mixture into 1 inch balls. Place on a waxed-paper lined
baking sheet.
3. Chill 15 minutes or until firm enough to form into oblong shape
reminiscent of russet potatoes. Roll each one in cinnamon until
coated thoroughly.
4. Chill again until firm, about 1 hour. If you like, use a wooden
chopstick to press a few eyes into each potato. Bring to room
temperature to serve.
Store in refrigerator in an airtight container up to 2 months.
