700g floury potatoes, salt, 1/2 tsp caraway seeds, 1-2 dessert spoons butter, 50g flour, 1 egg, freshly grated nutmeg, fat or oil for frying.

Cook the potatoes in enough boiling salted water, with the caraway seeds, until soft and tender. Scrape the skins while the potatoes are still hot and then mash or put through a potato ricer.

Add the riced potatoes and mix thoroughly. Season with salt and nutmeg. Put the potato mixture into a piping bag with a round nozzle or a star nozzle.
