No,  no potatoes.  Just a soft wheat flour.  This one I found from Frugal
Gourmet:

PLACE 1 cup water, 3 cups milk 1.5 teaspoons salt  in a small saucepan &
bring to a gentle simmer.
 ADD 1 cup semolina flour slowly, stirring all the while.  Cook for
approximately 30 minutes stirring often 'til thickened.  Remove from the
heat and STIR IN 2 Tablespoons butter, 2 egg yolks, and 1/4  cup {2 oz
measured} of grated parmesan cheese.

On a smooth countertop that is dampened with cold water, Pour the mixture
and spread it out to about a half inch thickness.  Allow to cool completely,
then cut into desired shapes.

Lightly butter a baking dish {or dishes} and shingle the cut semolina in the
dish(es).  Drizzle with a topping of 8 ounces butter, desired herbs, and
another half cup of Parmesan. Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 15 minutes,
or until the top begins to brown.   Serves 8.
