1 cup milk, preferrably 2% or homogenized |
2 tablespoons warm water |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 tablespoons butter or margarine |
1 cup mashed potatoes |
salt and pepper to taste |
note: i always make these when there are leftover mashed potatoes. by doing so it cuts down on prep time. |
Directions:
1. Soak grated potatoes overnight in cold water to remove
2. the starch.
3. Mix all ingredients together EXCEPT the flour.
4. Mix All-purpose flour in a little at a time with a wooden
5. spoon or your hands.
