Boil potatoes with skins left on. Drain potatoes, reserving 9 oz of water. Let potatoes and water cool. Peel potatoes and put potatoes through ricer.

Cut ropes into small pieces about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long. Place pieces on cookie sheet and freeze. Once they are frozen you can store in freezer in ziploc bags or containers.

Personal Notes:
This is Grandma Ciancanelli's recipe. After cutting the ropes into several pieces, grandma would then roll a fork over the pieces to give them a ridged look, and then freeze them. If you're making these for immediate use, you can go straight from cutting the pieces into the boiling water, no need to freeze first.
