2 lbs russet potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 eggs
2 ½ cups flour
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Directions:
Place potatoes in large stockpot. Add water and cover by 2 inches.
Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.
When cool enough to handle, peel and mash potatoes using a potato ricer or cheese grater
Set aside on a baking sheet until cooled.
On a cool, work surface, gather potatoes into a mound, forming a well in the centre.
In a small bowl, stir together eggs, 2 teaspoons salt. Pour mixture into well.
Using both hands, work potatoes and egg mixture together, gradually adding 2 cups of flour.
Scrape dough from work surface with a knife as necessary.
This process should not take more than 10 minutes.
The longer the dough is worked, the more flour it will require and the heavier the dough will become.
Dust hands, dough, and work surface lightly with some of the remaining 1 cup flour
Cut dough into 6 equal portions. Using both hands, roll each piece of dough into a rope 1/2-inch thick.
Continue dusting as long as dough feels sticky. Slice ropes at 1/2-inch intervals.
Indent each piece with thumb, the tines of a fork, or the back of a semicircular grater to produce a ribbed effect
