Method · 50 min
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and boil them in their skins until soft. Then let them cool completely, peel them and grate them finely.
- Add the flour, salt, egg and egg yolk to the potatoes. Quickly knead a smooth dough and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Take small pieces of dough, shape them into balls in your palms, and then roll them into oblong cones.
- In a large pot, bring enough salted water to the boil. Place the doughnuts in the boiling water and cook for another 2-3 minutes after they float to the surface. Cut open one doughnut and check to see if it is evenly cooked inside and the dough is not raw or sticky.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter and mix the ground poppy seeds with the powdered sugar.
- Remove the cooked cones with a slotted spoon and let them drain briefly. Divide them among plates, sprinkle with poppy seeds and sugar and pour over melted butter.
