Cheesy Potato Flatbread

Ingredients

• 500 g Potatoes (Peeled and cut into chunks)
• 150 g All-purpose flour (Plus extra for shaping if needed)
• 1 tsp Salt (Or to taste)
• 200 g Shredded cheese (Mozzarella or another good melting cheese)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (For cooking the flatbreads)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes, cut them into even chunks, and place them in a saucepan. Cover with water and boil until completely tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15–20 minutes.

2. 2

   Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them while still hot until smooth. Allow the mash to cool until warm rather than piping hot.

3. 3

   Add the flour and salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix and knead until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Avoid adding too much flour; the dough should remain tender but workable.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into four equal portions. Flatten one portion into a round on a lightly floured work surface.

5. 5

   Place a portion of shredded cheese in the center of the dough. Fold the edges over the cheese and pinch to seal, then gently flatten and roll into a thick flatbread. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.

6. 6

   Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add one filled flatbread and cook for several minutes per side, turning carefully, until golden brown on the outside and the cheese is melted inside.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding a little more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve warm while the centers are soft and cheesy.

Notes

The post description provides the dish concept but does not include a written ingredient list or method. Quantities and method are therefore estimates based on the described potato dough and cheese-filled flatbread. Adjust the flour slightly depending on the moisture of the potatoes.
