Mix coarse flour, milk, yeast, and a little salt in a bowl and leave to activate for about 15 minutes.

Add shredded and cooled cooked potatoes and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Work out a smooth nonstick dough for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Wrap the dough and leave it in a warm place, sprinkling with flour, for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Take a bit of dough and make small balls with your hands.

Place the balls on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes at 160 degrees Celsius.

Prepare a plum jam sauce by mixing two tablespoons of thick plum jam with a splash of rum in a saucepan over medium-low heat until dissolved.

For a kid-friendly version, use water instead of rum.

Mix icing sugar with ground poppy seeds.

Pour hot water over the buns after baking and let them sit in steam for a while, or use hot milk for a richer flavor.

Serve the buns with the plum jam sauce.
