1 c. mashed potatoes
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour, maybe more

Mix potato, egg, and salt together. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough, knead well until dough leaves your hands clean and dough is smooth. Roll out on a well floured board in long pencil shaped rolls. Cut in 1 inch pieces and drop into boiling salted water and cook for 20 minutes. Serve with buttered bread crumbs, or fried cabbage, or just butter and add cottage cheese.
