Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups boiled and mashed potatoes (peeled)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by boiling peeled potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain and mash them until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps, which helps achieve a perfect texture.
  2. Mix the Dough: Combine the mashed potatoes with flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir in olive oil and gently knead until you form a soft, slightly sticky dough that’s easy to handle.
  3. Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into thin circles or ovals on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking.
  4. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  5. Serve Warm: Transfer to a plate and serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.

Notes

  • Drain Potatoes Well: Make sure your mashed potatoes are not watery; excess moisture ruins the texture.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: Knead just until combined to keep the flatbread tender.
  • Use Medium-High Heat: This helps crisp the outside without burning the bread.
  • Thin is Key: Roll the flatbread thin for the perfect ratio of crispy crust to soft inside.
  • Rest the Dough: Let the dough sit for 10 minutes to allow flour absorption, improving elasticity.
