🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 700g floury potatoes
• 250g flour, plus more for dusting
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• butter and breadcrumbs to finish

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Boil the potatoes whole in their skins, then peel and rice them while hot.
2. Let them cool. Warm potato absorbs far more flour, and more flour means heavier kopytka.
3. Work in the flour, egg and salt with a light hand until it just comes together. Overworking makes them bouncy.
4. Roll into ropes 2cm thick and cut diagonally into the little hoof shapes the name refers to.
5. Boil in salted water; they are ready about a minute after they float.
6. Toss in butter with toasted breadcrumbs. Also excellent fried the next day.
