Before these colorful treats end up at your table, they go through a series of steps. First, the potatoes are boiled long enough to become mashed, then peeled and processed through a food mill. To reach its silky texture it is then scraped through a sieve with a scraper spatula. This is hours and hours of production; only to be rolled, chopped and shaped into their cylindrical bodies and adorned with delicate delights.
There is no mechanical kitchen equipment that will deliver the same silky texture of our handmade causas.
