1. Coarsely grate the raw potatoes and squeeze out as much water as possible. Put them in a bowl with the mashed potatoes, salt and pepper. Mix together. 2. In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese and chives together. 3. Using a spoon and your fingers scoop up a portion of the potato mixture, slightly smaller then an egg and flatten into a circle. 4. Put 1 teaspoon of the cheese filling in the middle; fold over the edges and pinch to seal. 5. Repeat with remaining potato and cheese mixtures; makes about 12 dumplings. 6. Heat the oil to 340 degrees Fahrenheit in a deep fat fryer. 7. Fry for 10 minutes or until deep brown and crisp. 8. Drain and serve hot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
