Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 Russet Potatoes large, peeled and cubed
- 1 Russet Potato large, peeled and grated
Dry Ingredients
- 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Rice Flour
- 0.5 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper black
Garnish (Optional)
- 0.5 tsp Sesame Seeds
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.
- If desired, sprinkle the top of each flatbread with sesame seeds. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Expert Tips
