3. Add vanilla and confectioners' sugar.
4. Beat until mixture forms a ball.
5. Stir in coconut with a spoon.
6. 
   
7. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls.
8. Place cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the balls in it.
9. Place the balls on a cookie sheet and chill for about 1 hour or until firm.
10. If you prefer "dirtier potatoes" roll the candy a second time after they have chilled.
