Tips:

Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest potato mixture. If you don't have a potato ricer, you can use a fine-mesh strainer.
Make sure to use good quality butter and sugar. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Serve the cookies warm with apple sauce or your favorite jam.
