Directions:

1. Whisk eggs salt and oil until well blended.

2. In a separate container mix potato starch and water and then blend both mixtures. Ladle out a small amount to cover a heated non-stick frying pan. You want just enough to cover the pan; you can pour into the middle and then use the handle to rotate the pan in a circular motion until the whole bottom is covered. Wait about a minute, until it looks set and the edge is starting to separate from the pan (the first one will take longer…). Turn out onto a towel on the counter.

3. Can use cut up for lukshen, or fill with potatoes mix, meat mix, or make it milchigs with cheese mix.
