Ingredients

- 1/2 cup cold mashed potatoes
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 tablespoons butter

Preparation
Step 1
RICH DOUGH
Mix the first 3 ingredients thoroughly. Add the water and beat well. Sift 1 3/4 cups of flour with the cream of tartar and salt, and then stir into the first mixture. This will form a very soft dough.
Add 1/4 cup of flour in 2 tablespoon portions until the dough no longer sticks to the hands. The dough should be very soft. If some of the flour is left, use it for flouring the board. Knead lightly, cover, let stand for 10 minutes.
Roll quite thin, cut into 3" circles and fill with the potato and cheese filling or any other of your favorite filling.
POTATO AND CHEESE FILLING
Cook the onion in the butter until tender. Combine it with the potatoes and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
