5 Pounds Red Potatoes
2 t. salt (divided)
1/2 lb. butter
1 T Sugar
1/4 c. heavy cream
4 c. flour

Cook Potatoes, skins and all (just take out the eyes) with 1 t. salt. Cook until soft about 20 min. Drain and cool potatoes. 

Cut butter into pieces put into kitchen aid bowl with the other teaspoon of salt, sugar and heavy cream. By this time the steam is off the drained potatoes...start adding them to the kitchen aid with the butter mixture, just a few at a time and beat the living daylights of them no lumps or bumps please. Rice the potatoes.

Place uncovered (maybe a tea towel only to cover) in fridge for at least 4 hours. 

When ready to cook, mix in the flour into the potato mixture. If you double the recipe the ratio of flour is 2 1/2 lbs. of cooked potatoes to 2 cups of flour. Mix well with hands. Makes 1/4 c. balls. Cool and cook on lease grill.
