Ingredients
- Cooked Mashed Potatoes: 1 cup (cold, unseasoned)
- Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum): 1 cup, plus more for dusting
- Baking Powder: 1 tsp
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp, plus more for cooking
- Water or Milk (dairy or non-dairy): 2-4 tbsp (as needed)
- Optional: Chopped Fresh Herbs (rosemary, chives): 1 tbsp
Instructions
1. 1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Add any optional dried herbs now.
2. 2. Add Wet Ingredients: Next, add the cold mashed potatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry mixture. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
3. 3. Form the Dough: Gradually add water or milk, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until you achieve a soft, pliable dough. It should be slightly sticky but manageable. Avoid overworking your Gluten-Free Potato Flatbread dough.
4. 4. Rest the Dough: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps the gluten-free flour hydrate fully.
5. 5. Shape the Flatbreads: Lightly flour a clean surface with extra gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin, round gluten-free flatbread, about 1/4 inch thick.
6. 6. Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil. Cook each potato flatbread for 2-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed.
7. 7. Serve Immediately: Remove from the pan and serve your delicious gluten-free potato flatbread warm.
