28:50 There is a candy that I used to make with my nana that actually has potatoes in it!! You boil potatoes, mash them, and then mix them with hella powdered sugar to make a dough. It’ll turn liquid before it becomes a dough! Once you get the right texture, you roll it out and spread a thin layer of peanut butter. After that you roll it up and cut it in like half an inch thick pieces. Nana called it tater candy and it’s so good!
