Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Mix the Base: In a bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Add the Butter: Add softened butter to the mixture and mix it using your fingers or a fork until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Gradually add milk as needed to help bind the mixture into a soft, workable dough.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead for about a minute until everything comes together.
- Shape the Loaf: Shape the dough into a round loaf and flatten it slightly for a crusty texture.
- Cook on the Griddle: Place the loaf on a hot griddle and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve it Up: Enjoy warm with melted butter or your favorite spread.
Notes
Use leftover mashed potatoes for extra flavor. Ensure the griddle is hot enough before cooking the bread.
