- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the cooled mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and melted butter; mix until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it to a ½‑inch thickness.
