Instructions
- 1Peel and wash the potatoes. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Add salt to the water. Boil the potatoes until they are soft enough to mash easily, about 15-20 minutes. Drain off most of the water, leaving just a little in the pot.
- 2Return the potatoes to the stove over low heat. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, keeping the potatoes covered. Remove from heat and mash the potatoes thoroughly until there are no lumps. The consistency should be like dough and smooth.
- 3Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Chop the onion very fine and add it to the skillet. Cook until the onions become a light brown color. Dip a tablespoon into the hot fat. Cut a spoonful of the potato dough with the same spoon and put it in the skillet. Repeat until all the dough is used. Be careful to dip your spoon in the hot fat every time you cut a puff. Let the puffs brown slightly on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden.
