[1] Oh Ryan's of Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, claims to be the largest distributor of Irish Potatoes, shipping about 80,000 pounds to major chains and smaller candy stores, mostly in the Philadelphia area.

[3] See's Candies, based in South San Francisco, also makes a version composed of a divinity and English walnut interior dusted with cocoa and using pine nuts as potato "eyes".

[3] The potatoes are showcased as a seasonal product by Philadelphia-area supermarkets, such as Acme Markets.

While the commercial confection is usually coconut-cream–based, recipes for potato-based Irish Potato candy do exist.

The candy is allowed to dry for a couple of hours and then rolled in cinnamon to achieve the appearance of tiny potatoes.
