Peel all the potatoes.

Boil 30% of the potatoes to a moist texture.

Shred the other 70%.

Find the biggest pot in the kitchen and fill it half with water. Put that on maximum heat, and bring to a full boil.

Add 1 tsp. of salt to the water (optional: add 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper to the water).

Mash the boiled potatoes and the shredded together.

Add flour and oats plus salt, and mix roughly together.

Make the potato balls, like you would make a snowball. (Tip: wet one hand with water before making the ball.)

Add the potato balls into the boiling pot.

Boil them for about 40 minutes (they can simmer on low heat until ready to serve).

Chop sausage and bacon into dice-sized pieces and fry them crispy at high heat.

Shred fresh carrots and serve everything together on a plate.
