Ingredients

 * 1 lb/500 g potatoes,

 * salt,
 * 1 lb/500 g plums,
 * 3 tablespoons butter,

Directions

 * 1) Boil well washed potatoes in their jacket. When done, peel them and crush with the potato press or grind them.
 * 2) Place the potato paste in a bowl and mix with the eggs, flour, one teaspoon of sugar and a little salt.
