Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 lb potato (about 3 or 4)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Recipe

• 1 peel potatoes, and boil until tender. drain and mash; add salt and butter. mix well and allow to cool to room temperature. on a well-floured surface, place potatoes and 1 cup of flour and knead lightly but thoroughly, adding flour just until the dough is smooth and able to be rolled out and keep its shape. roll out to a 1/2 inch thickness in a rectangle. cut into three or four rows, and then cut each row into equilateral triangles, about 2 inches on each side. this is the traditional shape, but you could also use a biscuit cutter. place in a griddle or frying pan over low heat and cook on each side until browned. serve hot, or freeze for later use.
