Ingredients

  • The Dough Base:
  • 6 Medium Potatoes Boiled and peeled
  • 1 Large Egg Room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour plus extra for dusting
  • Flavor & Texture:
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • A pinch of Fresh Parsley finely chopped
  • For the Finish:
  • 2 tbsp Butter Melted, for greasing and brushing

Instructions

  • The Base Mash
  • Process: Place boiled potatoes in a large bowl. Mash them until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  • Flavor: Add the shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, and fresh parsley to the warm mash.
  • Form the Potato Dough
  • Bind: Add the egg and gradually incorporate the flour.
  • Knead: Knead by hand until a soft, cohesive dough forms. It should be pliable and hold together without being excessively sticky.
  • Portion and Roll
  • Divide: Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll them into smooth balls.
  • Flatten: On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a thin circle (approx. 1/4 inch thick).
  • The Pan-Sear
  • Heat: Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with butter over medium heat.
  • Cook: Fry each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Identify: Look for golden-brown "leopard spots" to appear on both surfaces.
  • Stack and Slice
  • Layer: As they come off the heat, brush each piece with butter and stack them on top of each other.
  • Serve: Cut the stack into wedges like a pizza and serve while the cheese inside is still melty.
