Description

This potato flatbread recipe, a cherished family tradition, brings a taste of heritage to your table. The key is the overnight rest, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. These flatbreads are surprisingly versatile – enjoy them warm with butter, or use them as a wrap for your favorite fillings. They're perfect for a cozy autumn evening or a simple, satisfying meal. I love how the slight sweetness of the sugar complements the earthy potatoes. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices for a unique twist!

Ingredients (6 ingredients)

3 cups mashed potatoes
0.25 cups shortening
3 tbsp half-and-half
0.75 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white sugar

Preparation (6 steps)

Prepare Potato Mixture

Place 3 cups of mashed potatoes, ¼ cup of shortening, and 3 tablespoons of half-and-half into a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it stand for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

Add ¾ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of white sugar to the potato mixture in the mixing bowl. Mix until a uniform dough forms.

Form Dough Balls

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and form each portion into a small ball. Place the dough balls in the refrigerator to keep them cool.

Roll Out Dough

Remove one dough ball from the refrigerator at a time. On a floured surface, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out into a very thin circle, slightly smaller than the diameter of your skillet. Use more flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Cook Flatbread

Heat a lefsa pan or skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Cook the dough circle until bubbles form, about 1 minute; flip and cook until done, about 30 seconds.
