This recipe was developed by the Ministry of Food, as they stated to the public: “As sugar, fats, jams and preserves are rationed, energy-giving foods available are limited. Therefore if we are to keep up our weight and health then non-rationed foods, potatoes and bread, must be eaten in larger quantities. Potatoes come first because they are home grown.”
Potato Chocolate Spread (sweet)
2 tablespoonfuls mashed potato
1 tablespoonful cocoa
1 tablespoonful sugar
Almond or vanilla flavouring
Method: Mash the potato thoroughly, mix in the cocoa, sugar and flavouring. Use as a spread in place of jam.
