Ingredients:
1 large potato (peeled and boiled)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
1 tablespoon butter (melted)
½ cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the skillet)
Optional: Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme), for added flavor
Instructions:
Prepare the Potato: Begin by peeling and boiling the potato until it's soft and tender. Once cooked, mash it until smooth and set it aside to cool slightly.
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the mashed potato, melted butter, milk, and half of the cheese. Mix everything until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and gently knead it for about 1-2 minutes. Shape it into a round disc that will fit in your skillet.
Cook the Bread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil to coat the bottom. Place the dough disc into the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip and Cook Again: Carefully flip the bread over and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover again and cook for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and the bread is cooked through.
Serve: Remove from heat, and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the bread warm as a side with soups, stews, or salads. It's also perfect for breakfast or a light snack.
Storage: Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can also wrap it in foil and refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds.
