Preparation

  3. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
  4. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes with flour, baking powder, and salt to form a thick dough.
  5. On a floured surface, shape the dough into an 8-inch round disc and cut into 8 wedges.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a pan for the best texture. Timing is key: Ensure your potatoes are thoroughly cooked and dry before mashing.
