Make a hole in the middle of it, and pour in the mashed potatoes and grated cheese.
Beat the eggs together with the salt, pepper and a spoonful of oil and add into the hole.
Blend the ingredients together until you get a supple dough.
Make long rolls about 1 to 2 cm thick, sprinkle with flour and cut into small cylinder shapes. If you want, you can use a fork to give the cylinders a fancy shape.
