Ingredients

450g (1lb) potatoes
30g (1oz) butter
1 level tsp salt
100g (3.5oz) plain flour

Instructions

Peel the potatoes, slice them into small pieces. Put them in a pan of boiling water for about twenty minutes, or as soon as they are soft.
Remove from pan, drain and mash potatoes up to get rid of lumps
While potatoes are still warm, add butter and salt and mix well.
Add the flour. Depending on the texture of the potatoes, add enough to make a good, stiff dough.
Knead the dough and roll to form a circle about 1cm thick, and cut into triangular quarters.
Sprinkle a hot frying pan with flour to prevent sticking. Cook the dough in the pan. No oil or fat is needed.
Continue frying, turning the bread occasionally until both sides are golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy
