- First of all a potato was grated with a rough grater. Then a pinch of breadsoda, and a pinch of salt are mixed together with some flour and shaped into the form of a cake then it is put in a bastible to bake. Some people used to heat a flag and bake the stampai on the flag.
The grater of course was homemade. A flat piece of tin was put on top of a board. Then holes were made near each other on the tin with a two inch nail. Laths of wood were put on each end of the tin to keep it firm.
