Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 12 oz russet potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 4 tbsp warm water add more as needed for a soft dough
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1.25 tsp kosher salt divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil for cooking
- 1.5 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella or mild cheddar
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter for brushing
- 0.25 cup sliced scallions green onions
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Boil the potato chunks in salted water until very tender, 12–15 minutes.
- Drain well, then mash the potatoes smooth with half the salt. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and the remaining salt in a large bowl.
- Stir yogurt and mashed potatoes into the dry mix. Add warm water a little at a time to form a soft dough.
- Knead on a floured surface for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 6 balls. Roll each into a 6–7 inch round, dusting with flour as needed.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush with a thin film of olive oil.
- Cook one flatbread until bubbles form and the bottom is golden, 1–2 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes.
- Lower heat. Sprinkle some mozzarella on the cooked bread, cover the pan, and melt 30–60 seconds. Repeat with remaining breads.
- Brush hot breads with butter. Finish with scallions and black pepper. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
Try mixing sharp cheddar with the mozzarella for a bolder bite, or add chopped herbs to the dough. Leftovers reheat well in a skillet over low heat or in a 325°F oven for 6–8 minutes; avoid microwaving to keep them crisp.
