Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium Russet potatoes (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter, plus extra for cooking
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup warm water or milk

Optional Variations

  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, thyme, or oregano, chopped (for herb-infused)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese (for cheesy twist)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for garlic flatbread)
  • Chili flakes or smoked paprika, to sprinkle on top (for spicy kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps for a silky dough texture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to form the base of the dough.
  3. Mix the Dough: Add the mashed potatoes to the dry ingredients. Gradually stir in warm water or milk and olive oil or melted butter. Knead gently until the dough comes together and feels soft but not sticky.
  4. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes. This relaxes the gluten, making rolling out easier and resulting in a crispier flatbread.
  5. Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into equal portions (about 6-8). On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into thin rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick, taking care not to tear.
  6. Cook to Crispy Perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown with crispy spots. Brush with extra oil or butter while cooking to enhance flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the ideal soft and fluffy texture.
  • Resting the dough is essential for easier rolling and crisp crust development.
  • Roll the flatbreads as thin as possible without tearing to maximize crispiness.
  • Preheat the pan well to achieve golden, crispy edges quickly.
  • Brush with oil or butter during cooking to get a beautifully crunchy exterior.
  • Reheat leftovers in a hot skillet or oven for the best crispness; avoid microwaving.
