Boil the pared potatoes in enough water to cover them. Drain off the

the potato water and add more water, if necessary, to make 1 1/2
pints. Combine with the rest of the ingredients, using enough flour
to make a rather stiff batter. Cover and let rise in a warm place
until morning. Knead in the morning, adding as much flour as is
necessary. Let rise again. Spread on well-greased tins and when light
(about 1-1/4 hours) brush melted butter over top. Strew with “rivels”
made by combining 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 2 Tbsp butter.
