1. Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling
salted water for 15-2- minutes. Drain well and mash
with a potato masher until smooth. Season to taste
with salt and pepper and add the butter. Mix in the
egg, if using.

|
2. Turn the mixture out into a large mixing bowl and
add enough of the flour to make a light dough. Work
quickly to avoid letting the potatoes cool to much.

|
|
|
3. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and
roll out carefully to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
Using a 2 1/2 inch pastry cutter, cut into circles.

4. Brush a flat griddle pan or heavy skillet with
oil and heat. Slip the potato cakes onto the griddle
in batches and cook for 4-5 min on each side, until
they are golden brown. Serve immediately with
butter.
