Flatbread Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Water as needed
Instructions
- Mix dry and mashed ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir thoroughly to integrate the flour and seasoning evenly with the potatoes.
- Add olive oil: Pour in the olive oil and mix well until the mixture begins to come together, coating the ingredients evenly.
- Form the dough: Gradually add water in small increments, mixing continuously until a soft, pliable dough forms that is not too sticky or dry.
- Divide the dough: Portion the dough into equal-sized balls to ensure uniform cooking and ease of rolling.
- Roll out flatbreads: On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a flat circle about ¼ inch thick.
- Cook the flatbreads: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place each flatbread on the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
- Serve warm: Enjoy the flatbreads fresh from the skillet while still warm, ideal for accompanying meals or as a comforting snack.
Notes
- Ensure the mashed potatoes are cooled and smooth for the best dough consistency.
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash more water.
- Cooking on a hot skillet ensures the flatbreads get nicely browned and cooked through without burning.
- These flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated on the skillet.
- Optional spices like garlic powder or herbs can be added to the dough for extra flavor.
