1

Push hot boiled potatoes through a ricer or food mill and spread the potato out on a baking pan.

4

Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in lightly beaten eggs.

5

Stir the eggs into the potato mixture with a fork just to combine.

6

Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and knead just until the dough comes together.

Divide the dough into four pieces and roll one piece into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick.

8

Keep the rest of the dough covered with a damp towel while working.

9

Cut the rope into 1-inch pieces.

Roll each piece down the back of the tines of a fork with very light pressure to create ridges.
