KRAPNE

First cook 3-4 un-peeled potatoes in the water. Then, peel and grate them. Add a mixture of yeast and milk that has been sitting for a while and had a chance to raise a bit. Add pinch of sugar, salt and all-purpose flour, 3-4 yolks, and from egg whites beaten snow with vanilla sugar. Work the whole mixture until you have half-hard dough that you leave to rise. After rising you roll the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness and with metal cookie forms cut out different shapes. Deep-fry the krapne in hot lard. After drying them on paper, cover dm in icing sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
