  2. Combine mashed potato, egg, and sour cream in a bowl and mix. Set aside.
  3. Rub flour and butter in a large bowl until it begins to look like wet sand. Add the remaining dry ingredients and grated cheese and mix until it is evenly combined, make a well in the middle.
  4. Pour wet mixture and mix with a butter knife or a wooden spoon until it comes together and then knead lightly with your hands to form a dough.
