Ingredients

6 eggs, separated

1 cup sugar, divided

1 1/2 cups grated almonds

1 cup cold mashed potatoes

Juice and rind of 1 lemon

Directions

Beat the egg yolks until light and lemon-colored. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, a small amount at a time; continue beating for approximately 10 minutes. Add the grated almonds, lemon juice, lemon rind and the mashed potatoes. Beat until well blended.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff; gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar; continue beating until the egg whites are stiff but not dry. Fold the stiffly beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture.

Grease well and dust with potato starch a 10-inch tube pan. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. Check with a pick for doneness. Serves 10.
