Potato Flatbread with Cheese

Ingredients

• 500 g Potato (Cooked, peeled, and mashed; use floury potatoes for a softer dough.)
• 150 g Wheat flour (Plus a little more for dusting the work surface.)
• 1 tsp Salt (Adjust to taste.)
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper (Optional.)
• 200 g Grated mozzarella cheese (A blend of cheeses that melts well can also be used.)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (For cooking the flatbreads in the skillet.)

Steps

1. 1

   Boil the potatoes until completely tender when pierced with a knife, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, peel while still warm, and mash until smooth, with no large lumps.

2. 2

   Place the mashed potatoes in a bowl and let them cool enough to handle. Add the flour, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead only as much as necessary to incorporate the ingredients; if it is too sticky, add flour little by little, avoiding excess so the flatbread does not become tough.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each portion into a disk approximately 15 cm in diameter.

5. 5

   Place one-quarter of the cheese in the center of each disk, leaving a clear border. Bring the edges toward the center and pinch to seal the filling.

6. 6

   Turn each piece seam-side down and carefully flatten it until it is approximately 1 cm thick. Work gently so you do not tear the dough or let the cheese escape.

7. 7

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add some of the oil. When the oil is hot but not smoking, place one flatbread in the skillet without overlapping the others.

8. 8

   Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning when the base is golden and toasted spots appear. The cheese inside should be completely melted and the dough cooked through.

9. 9

   Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding a little more oil to the skillet as needed. Serve hot, while the cheese is still soft and the exterior is slightly crisp.

Notes

The post indicates that this is a potato flatbread with cheese, but it does not provide visible quantities or instructions. Therefore, this is an approximate reconstruction rather than a literal extraction. For a lighter texture, do not add too much flour. You can serve it with plain yogurt, sour cream, fresh herbs, or a spicy sauce.
