It's true - those weird kinda gross looking candies that you see around the grocery stores this time of year are a Philly tradition! We've lived in Philly for about 8 years now, and have never tried them!! Irish Potato Candy is a traditional Philly confection that is not Irish and does not contain any potato, but is a cocoa powder and cinnamon covering over a coconut nougat made to look like a potato. Oh Ryan's of Boothwyn, PA makes the largest distribution of Irish Potatoes shipping about 80,000 pounds to major chains and smaller candy stores mostly in the Philly area.
And yes they are tasty.
