  • 1/3 pound potatoes, cubed
  • 3 1/2 cups ground almonds
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup pine nuts
  • 2 egg yolks, beaten
  • 3/4 cup cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the potatoes in a small saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender; drain. Mash the potatoes with a fork. Allow to cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking sheet.
  3. Combine the cooled potatoes and almonds. Slowly add the sugar while stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir in the lemon zest; continue mixing with your hands. Form the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the pine nuts; brush with egg yolk. Form each ball into a crescent shape. Cover each cookie with cornstarch and then brush with egg white.
