Double Chocolate Potato Brownies

Submitted by MsBindy

"This was a different brownie recipe that DH came across today. I tried them out tonight. They have a really different texture. Not dense and fudgy, but not really cake-like either. And not overly sweet either. If you are open to something unexpected, then these are worth a try. I've tried using applesauce substitution to reduce fat, but without much success, unfortunately."
