- 15ml Water

- Add one of the eggs and continue to mash until the egg is totally combined.
- Refrigerate the mashed potato for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.

- Remove the potato from the refrigerator. Lift a heaped tablespoon of the mash and shape it into a cigar shape.
- Dip the cigar in the egg mixture, then dredge it gently in the flour to get a good coating all over.
