3 large potatoes or 6 medium-sized potatoes
3 tablespoons of butter or margarine at room temperature
5 slightly beaten egg yolks
Salt to taste
All-purpose flour
Peel the potatoes, cut them into four pieces and boil them in water and salt until they become tender
Drain them very well and then place them in a hot oven (200°) for 5 or 6 minutes to dry completely
Remove them from the oven and press them through a potato ricer, add the butter or margarine and beat very well
Add the egg yolks and salt
Beat very well with a wooden spoon or use an electric mixer until you get a smooth mass
Let it cool to room temperature
Gently dust a smooth surface with all-purpose flour, roll your hands in flour and shape the potato mass into balls or croquettes
Place them on a baking sheet and bake in a hot oven (200°) until golden brown
These potato balls are a accompaniment to meat dishes
This dough can also be used to decorate the edges of sandwiches, and for that use a pastry bag and put it in the oven to glaze, about 6 portions.
