1 cup melted butter

3. Add flour to potatoes until mixture becomes firm enough for rolling. Amount of flour needed will vary due to moisture in potatoes.
4. Turn dough out on floured rolling surface and roll to about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Cut dough into 4 inch circles large enough to envelop 3-4 peach cubes.
6. Wash peaches and remove stone from each by splitting peach in half. Cube Peaches.
7. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl with cubed peaches.
