Mashed Potato Flatbread: A Delectable Solution for Leftovers
Have you ever found yourself with a mountain of leftover mashed potatoes after a big family dinner? Rather than reheating them for the next meal, or worse, letting them go to waste, you can easily transform those creamy spuds into a delicious and versatile flatbread with just one additional ingredient.
Introducing the 2-Ingredient Mashed Potato Flatbread – your new best friend in the kitchen. It’s not only quick to prepare but also requires minimal effort for such a rewarding outcome. The result is a warm, pliable flatbread that can be paired with almost any dish or enjoyed on its own as a satisfying snack.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
– 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, start by combining your leftover mashed potatoes with one cup of all-purpose flour. Using your hands is the best way to get the mixture to the right consistency.
2. Once the potato and flour have been thoroughly combined into dough, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Add extra flour if necessary, but be cautious not to add too much or your flatbread will become tough.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the desired size of your flatbreads.
4. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-high heat while you roll out each portion of dough on a floured surface. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
5. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until it starts to brown and blister. You’ll know it’s ready when both sides have golden-brown spots.
6. Once cooked, place them on a wire rack to cool slightly – they are best served warm.
That’s all there is to it! In just six simple steps, you’ve created an innovative solution to food waste that is as practical as it is tasty.
These flatbreads are highly adaptable – top them with herbs or spices before cooking for an added flavor boost or turn them into mini pizzas by adding sauce, cheese, and toppings after they’re cooked. They also make fantastic wraps for breakfast burritos or traditional sandwich fillings.
Whether you’re someone who hates to see good food go uneaten or simply looking for an effortless way to revamp your leftovers, this mashed potato flatbread recipe checks all boxes for ease, taste, and resourcefulness.
