No milk or vanilla or butter! Roll out thin and spread peanut butter and jelly roll it up. Then cut in bite-size pieces. Snow white dough! yummy!<br />Debbie Clantonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4001048742448308736.post-25666909999686007392014-12-15T14:08:24.175-06:002014-12-15T14:08:24.175-06:00Are the potatoes cooked and smashed or are they ju...Are the potatoes cooked and smashed or are they just flakes?

Looked at the recipe again and saw that you had it in the ingredients but not in the directions. I assume it was supposed to be in with the potatoes, butter, milk and salt. Hopefully it will still taste just as good when it's all done! (Actually the dough tasted pretty good without it!) I enjoy all your recipes and have made several. Thanks!
