Steps

  1. Place the sugar, cream cheese, coconut shavings, and a small amount of vanilla extract into a large bowl.
  2. Knead by hand until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. It should have the consistency of dough. If it's too dry, add more cream cheese. If it's too soft, add more sugar.
  3. Break off small amounts and roll them in your hands until they form balls. They should be small enough to be eaten in one bite
  4. Roll the balls in cinnamon until they are completely coated.
  5. If desired, place the completed "potatoes" in the refrigerator for a few hours until they are firm.
