OK, I'm weirded out by the mashed potatoes, but I'm also curious. And I really doubt there's such a thing as bad fudge. ;)
Tickles_tapeworm-
First off, I am not a big coconut fan, however, I can honestly say that you can't taste the mashed potatoes at all in this recipe. If you think about it, potatoes aren't all that flavorful to begin with. Their primarily used as a thickening agent for the recipe. Same concept as the "Tomato Soup Cake." It's a novelty factor. Nothing more, nothing less.
If it helps, my grandmother used to make this every holiday season and all the relatives would go bananas for it. So, it must be pretty good...or my relatives are all savages. It could go either way, really. ;)
