Cut the baked potatoes in half and then into quarters, letting them steam off for 2 minutes.

Use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes while they are still hot, placing the flesh side down in the ricer.

6

Add 2 large egg yolks to the mashed potatoes and stir to combine while keeping the potatoes warm.

7

Add 8 g of salt and 175 g of all-purpose flour to the potato mixture.

Use a dough scraper to mix the flour into the potatoes by cutting it in, minimizing gluten development.

Once mixed, use hands to squeeze the dough until it forms a homogeneous mass.

Let the dough hydrate for 5 minutes with a lid on.

Dust the dough with flour and divide it into four equal portions.

Roll one portion into a snake shape about 24 inches long and 1 inch thick.
