Add salt and butter to cake flour, and mix through with your fingertips. Add the potato and mix through well so that the flour is crumbly. Add the egg and water, and knead until the dough is nice and smooth. Rest for 15 minutes. Roll the dough into long strings of about 30cm. Cut them in half and fold the one point over the other to form the koeksusters. Whisk up the extra egg and brush over the dough. Rest for 5 minutes and then deep-fry at 160°C for 15 minutes. Dip into the syrup and drain.
