I love this thread and even recognize a few recipes. Thank you for posting.
My husbands family made a Cracker Pie AKA Mock Apple Pie, but used regular saltine crackers instead of Ritz.. I've made it a few times myself, it's good,
Also the Potato Candy is similar to what my Mom used to make for Chocolate Drops.....pretty much just the boiled mashed potatoes mixed with powdered sugar and maybe a little vanilla. Roll into bite sized balls, then dip in melted chocolate. Stick in the fridge to cool & set.
