1/3 mashed potatoes, cooled

Mix together. Add 1 tsp. salt. Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Add 1 egg and beat in 1 tsp. vanilla. Add to dough, 1 pkg. yeast dissolved in ¼ Cup warm water.

Add approximately 4 Cups flour or add enough flour to make stiff dough. (won’t be sticky to the touch). Knead lightly on floured board. Put in greased bowl to rise until double in bulk. Punch down. Roll out about 1/2 inch thick. Cut in 3½ inch to 4 inch squares. Place mashed fruit in center and pull corners up over the fruit and squeeze corners together. Place on greased pan or baking sheet about 1½ inch apart. Let raise and bake 375º until begins to brown. You can frost if desired. I use mashed prunes, dried apricots, thickened crushed pineapple or jam for center.
