• Mash them, and measure out two cups.
• If you are using leftover mashed potatoes, adjust the butter and salt downwards according to how much they already have in them.
• Stir in the salt and the butter, then beat in the egg.
• Stir in the flour and the baking powder; mix well. Add a little more flour if needed to make a soft but workable dough.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
• Roll out each section of the dough to about 1/4" thickness on a floured board.
• Bake them on a lightly greased griddle or skillet at the same temperature that you would cook pancakes, for about 5 minutes each side.
• They should feel dry but pliable, and have some light brown blisters.
• Keep them warm in a damp towel in the oven as they are cooked.
• Serve hot.
• If you are cooking them all at once, you probably want to use two skillets; leftovers can be reheated in the microwave.
• Otherwise, they can be kept raw in the fridge between sheets of waxed paper in a plastic bag.
