This odd little recipe appears to be almost a potato dumpling lasagna. I would expect that for the pastry, you could us some sort of dumpling wrapper or pasta, or a pastry you might use for Pierogis. Scraped potatoes could mean slicing, scraping the skins, or lightly mashing... I'd probably go with slicing given the stacking with the pastry.

Scrape new potatoes, make a nice pastry as
for dumplings, roll out and cut in squares and
put in a kettle with alternate layers of potatoes,
bits of butter, salt, and pepper. Cover well with
hot water and cook until done.
