Ingredients
  

Flatbread Ingredients
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes Make sure they are smooth and creamy.
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour Or any flour of your choice.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For richness.
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, or chives), chopped
  • to taste vegan cheese Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your potatoes until they are fork-tender. Drain and mash them until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly before proceeding.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix together well, forming a well in the center.
  3. Add the cooled mashed potatoes and olive oil into the well. Next, sprinkle in the chopped fresh herbs. Using your hands or a spoon, mix all the ingredients until combined. The dough should be slightly tacky but manageable.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead the dough for about 5 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  5. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8-10 pieces for individual flatbreads). Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they puff up and have golden brown spots.
  7. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle your choice of vegan cheese over the flatbreads to melt slightly.
  8. Remove from heat and serve warm with your favorite toppings or dips!

Notes

Substitutions: While whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor, you can use gluten-free flour if needed. Timing: Ensure your mashed potatoes are at room temperature when you mix them. Avoid Common Mistakes: If your dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour while kneading. Conversely, if the dough feels dry, add a bit more olive oil or water. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or freeze with parchment paper between each flatbread for up to a month.
