  1. Peel and cube the potatoes, boil in salted water for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and dry.
  2. Pass the hot potatoes through a sieve or potato ricer, then mix in flour, sea salt, black pepper, and melted butter to form a soft dough.
  3. On a floured surface, flatten the dough into an 8-inch round disc and cut into 6 wedges.
