  1. Place the potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, drain. Mash the potatoes with a fork. Allow to cool.

  3. Combine the cooled potatoes and almonds. Slowly add the sugar while stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir in the lemon zest, continue mixing with your hands. Form the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in the pine nuts, brush with egg yolk. Form each ball into a crescent shape. Cover each cookie with cornstarch and then brush with egg white. Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
