Make a soft dough by adding the egg, well beaten, and, if neces- sary, a little milk. Make the dough of the right consistency to roll out. If the potato happens to be moist no milk will be required. Divide the dough into three parts and roll into rounds half an inch thick. Cut each of these across twice, so as to make four parts.
