Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into equal-sized cubes.
Boil the Potatoes: Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender. Drain and mash until smooth, with no lumps.

Shape the Dough: Divide the potato mixture into two portions. Shape each portion into a ball of dough.
