Instructions
- 1
Place the peeled and quartered gold potatoes in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes.

Carefully drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes, or until they are cool enough to handle comfortably.

While the potatoes are cooling, in a separate large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Add the cooled, cooked potatoes directly into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a potato masher or a sturdy fork, mash the potatoes into the flour mixture until mostly combined. Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until a smooth, cohesive dough forms. Add a little more flour to your hands or the surface if the dough is too sticky.

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and roll it out with a rolling pin into a 6-inch circular flatbread, aiming for about 1/4 inch thickness.

Place about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of the rolled-out dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Carefully gather the edges of the dough over the cheese, pinching them together firmly at the top to completely seal the cheese inside, forming a ball again. Gently flatten the ball with the palm of your hand, then use a rolling pin to roll it back into a 6-inch circular flatbread, ensuring the cheese remains enclosed. Repeat this filling and shaping process with the remaining dough balls and cheese.
⏱️ 15 min

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place one flatbread in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown, slightly puffed, and cooked through. The cheese inside should be melted and gooey. Remove the cooked flatbread from the pan and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil to the pan as needed for each.
⏱️ 16 min

Transfer the cooked flatbreads to a serving plate. Brush generously with the melted herb butter. Serve immediately and enjoy the satisfying cheesy pull!
