| Prep time | 30 minutes |
| 3 3⁄4 | Pound | potatoes (use Idaho russet) |
| 1⁄2 | Cup | butter (melted) |
| 3 | Tablespoon | powdered sugar |
| 1⁄2 | Teaspoon | salt |
| 2 | Cup | flour (all-purpose) |
Step 1 Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Drain and put through a potato ricer while still hot. (5 cups packed). Cool to room temperature.
Step 2 In large bowl combine melted butter, powdered sugar and salt. Add potatoes. Stir in flour, knead with hands.
Step 3 Form smooth, round balls using about 1/3 cup each. On a floured surface, roll out paper thin to less than 1/8 inch thick. (11 to18 inches in diameter). Use as little flour as possible, but enough to keep from sticking.
Step 4 Cook on a large hot griddle over medium heat about 1 to 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove and put between paper toweling to cool. May be frozen. Makes 18 -24.
