Potato Bread

Mash cold boiled potatoes, being careful to leave no lumps. Mix in enough flour (and salt, to taste) to make a dough that is smooth and will not stick to the rolling pin. Roll about one-fourth inch thick, cut in squares, and bake on a griddle. Cold potato bread, fried, is good with ham and eggs, etc.
