Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized potatoes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional)
  • A pinch of black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Start by peeling and boiling the potatoes until they are soft, which usually takes around 10-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool to room temperature.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and garlic powder (if using). Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
  4. Add the mashed potatoes to the dry mixture. Add the olive oil or melted butter, and mix until a dough begins to form.
  5. Gradually add warm water to the dough, a little at a time, kneading until it forms a soft, non-sticky dough. If you’re using herbs, sprinkle them in during this step for added flavor.
  6. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with some oil or butter.
  7. Once the pan is heated, take small portions of the dough and shape them into round, flat patties about 1/2 inch thick.
  8. Place the dough patties onto the hot pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Press down gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even cooking.
  10. Once the potato bread is golden and cooked through, remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
  11. Serve the potato bread warm, ideally with butter or your favorite topping.

This pan-fried potato bread is incredibly versatile. You can enjoy it as a side dish to soups or stews, or even use it to make sandwiches.
