Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop three medium-sized potatoes into even cubes, place in a pot, cover with water, and boil. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Strain potatoes, allow to dry for 5 minutes, then mash until fluffy with no lumps.
  3. In the bowl with mashed potatoes, add flour, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Mix until a cohesive dough ball is formed.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface, transfer the dough, and flatten into an 8-inch round disc. Cut into six even wedges.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium, add butter, and fry each wedge for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and serve hot with toppings or enjoy alone.
