-
5.Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
-
6.Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear.
-
7.Remove from heat and serve warm or at room temperature.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Potatoes — Make sure to use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture. Avoid waxy potatoes as they can make the flatbread dense.
- All-purpose flour — If you prefer a lighter texture, you can use only all-purpose flour instead of a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil to the dough.
- Serve the Swedish Potato Flatbread with traditional Swedish toppings such as lingonberry jam, pickled herring, or gravlax.
- Leftover flatbread can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
Serving advice
Serve the Swedish Potato Flatbread warm alongside your favorite Swedish dishes or use it as a base for open-faced sandwiches. It pairs well with both savory and sweet toppings.
Presentation advice
Arrange the flatbreads on a rustic wooden platter or a traditional Swedish bread basket. Sprinkle some fresh herbs like dill or chives on top for an extra touch of color.
