Peel off the skins using your fingers or a peeler.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Mash<\/strong> Mash the potatoes in a medium bowl until completely smooth, with no lumps. Add the salt and pepper and mix well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Add the egg<\/strong> Make a well in the center of the potatoes and crack the egg into it. Lightly whisk the egg, then gently mix it into the potatoes using your hands until evenly incorporated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Add flour and form dough<\/strong> Sprinkle <strong>1 cup of flour<\/strong> onto a clean work surface and turn the potato mixture out onto it.
