My grandmother used to make these when I was a little girl. When I was old enough to realize that I needed to get her delicious recipes, she showed me how to make a lot of her wonderful dishes. She never wrote anything down and she rarely used a cookbook. She also didn't measure things the same each time, so sometimes you have to add a little to the recipes.
Ingredients
- 6 russets potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg , lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool slightly, and peel. Season with salt, then mash potatoes with fork, masher, or in ricer. Place in large bowl, and stir in egg and olive oil. Knead in enough flour to make a soft dough.

Churro Cheesecake Bars
This delicious churro cheesecake is topped with cinnamon sugar and cut into bars for a sweet and creamy treat. Serve with Mexican cajeta or dulce de leche for extra caramel flavor.
Tzatziki Guacamole
A yummy dip that can be used instead of traditional guacamole or tzatziki. I made it for a family dinner and served it with nacho chips and veggie chips. It would be great with pitas or in a sandwich. Something a little different to add to your table.
Mom's Sweet Buttermilk Corn Bread
This corn bread is a little on the sweet side. It's made with white cornmeal, but yellow works too. I learned to make it from my other mom (MIL). It is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Can be used to make stuffing or put leftovers in a cup with milk and put it in the fridge overnight for a comforting breakfast.
