Ingredients

• 4 cups boiling water

• 4 cups instant mashed potatoes
• 3 large eggs
• 4 cups flour

Steps

1. Bring water to a boil in a sauce pan. Add instant potatoes and stir until well blended.
2. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Beat eggs together. Add to room temperature potatoes and slowly add flour until all 4 cups are incorporated in dough.
