Very Dutch! Great snack food as well as a good thing to go with roast
meat.

Here is a Dutch recipe (in translation ):

3 lbs potatoes
3 egg yolks
1 egg
flour
breadcrumbs
salt and pepper to taste
nutmeg

Cook and mash the potatoes, let cool and add the egg yolks.
Mix well and add salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Use a pastry bag with a large tip to pipe long 'strings' or cylinders
onto aluminium foil and refrigerate.
Cut the strings into desired size. Roll them in flour, dip them in
beaten egg and roll in the breadcrumbs.
Refrigerate until ready to cook. Deep fry (175 C) until golden brown and
crisp.



Eet smakelijk!
