Ingredients:

- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed

- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

- 1/2 cup warm water (or as needed)

Instructions:

Cook the Potatoes: Boil the cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Mash the Potatoes: Mash the potatoes thoroughly until smooth. Set aside.

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center and add the mashed potatoes, olive oil (or melted butter), and warm water.

Mix and Knead: Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more water. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.

7. Serve: Enjoy the Potato Bread warm, as a side dish, or use it for sandwiches and wraps.

This Potato Bread is versatile and can be flavored with herbs or spices of your choice. Perfect for a comforting meal or a delicious snack!
