Ingredients
Potato Flatbread
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ Teaspoon Kosher salt
- Black pepper a few dashes
- ¼ Cup Alsum russet potato grated, skin on
- ½ Cup + 1 Tablespoon Water
- ⅓ Cup Olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon Honey optional
Potato and Caramelized Onion Topping
- 1 Medium Red onion sliced thin
- ½ Tablespoon Olive oil
- 5 Alsum petite potatoes sliced very thin, skins on
- Olive oil for brushing
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 10 Chive sprigs
- ¼ Cup Plain Greek yogurt optional
- ¼ Cup BBQ sauce optional
Instructions
Potato Flatbread
- Combine potato, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until combined.
- Dig a small well in the middle of your mixture and add in your water, olive oil, and honey.
- Stir until combined.
- Form into a ball (add a few drops of extra water if necessary).
- Halve your dough and in between 2 pieces of parchment paper, roll out your dough, one piece at a time, into a rustic shape about ⅛ of an inch thick.
Potato and Caramelized Onion Topping
- Sauté your onions in the olive oil over medium heat until they soften and begin to caramelize.
- Remove from heat.
- Once you are ready to cook your flatbread(s). Heat your oven to 425°F.
- Lightly brush your flatbread(s) with a bit of olive oil.
- Scatter the caramelized onions over-top, arrange your potatoes, overlapping them to one another over-top the onions.
- Brush the petite potatoes lightly with a tiny bit of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for 12 minutes (parchment will brown a bit - that is ok). If you don't have parchment paper, oil your baking sheet lightly.
- Remove from the oven when done, drizzle with the BBQ sauce and/or the Greek yogurt, snip chives over-top and serve. You can cut the bread(s) into strips or you can set them out whole to be cut.
Notes
Potato Flatbread
- If you make your dough ahead of cooking time, just place a damp paper towel over each piece to keep it moist or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
- If you do not have a mandolin to slice your potatoes, just slice them as thin as you can with a paring knife. You may need to turn the broiler on for a couple minutes to help the potatoes finish cooking if they end up on the thicker side. You could fire up the broiler at the 10 minute mark.
- If you are making the bread by itself - you can choose to roll it thinner to make it almost cracker-like. Season it up differently - you can make it sweeter with sugar and cardamom or savory with black pepper and a pinch of salt. If you do make the Potato Flatbread on its own, the cooking time may be closer to 10 minutes - depending on the thickness of your dough.
- You can also combine some BBQ sauce with the Greek yogurt for a single flavor-filled drizzle or add some ranch spices to the Greek yogurt for a different take.
