Instructions
 

  • Boil the cubed potatoes in a pot of water until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. This ensures the potatoes are cooked through for a smooth mash.

  • Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly. While still warm, mash the potatoes until smooth. Leaving them slightly warm helps create a cohesive dough.

  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated raw potato, all-purpose flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.

  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in a more tender flatbread.

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the dough into 3-4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc on a lightly greased baking sheet.
