Recipe for lean flatbread with potatoes in a pan. Kutaby - tortillas with potatoes and herbs (lean version)

Boil potatoes for stuffing. Choose three medium tubers, rinse well from earth and other dirt, place in cold water, salted with 1 tsp. salt and boil until tender. It took me about 25 minutes to do this.


In a wide and deep bowl, sift good-quality white and dry flour along with salt. For a better connection of the liquid with the flour, make a depression in the dry mixture. Pour in the indicated volume of warm (not hot!) Water with the addition of non-aromatic vegetable oil.


Using your fingers, gently combine the water with the butter and flour.


Knead the dough quickly so that it does not become too elastic. Such unleavened dough will not stick to the fingers and the work surface, so additional sprinkling of the table or hands with flour will be superfluous.

Before rolling out the dough, let it rest a little - put it on a clean surface (board, bowl), cover with a towel or tighten our dough ball with a film, but be sure to cover it so that it does not dry out.


While the dough is resting, let's make the filling.

Peel the skin of boiled potatoes, cut the tubers several times and put them in a bowl. Mash the potatoes into a puree. You can make it with a potato masher, run it through a meat grinder, or chop potatoes in a blender. If a potato mass it turns out too dense, then you can add a little boiled water.


Finely chop the washed and dried herbs. It might be young green onion, young garlic, parsley, dill, cilantro, etc.


Mix crushed potatoes with herbs. Stir and complement the taste of the filling by adding salt and pepper.

If you have some yesterday's puree left at home, then it can also be used for the filling, additionally mixed with herbs.


Divide the dough into equal parts. Take a ball of dough and roll it on a flat and smooth surface into a thin cake (while the thickness of the dough should be the same).


Put the filling on one half of a thin cake (about 1.5 tablespoons).


Cover the potato filling with the second half of the dough and secure the edges.

I suggest using a fork. Firstly, you will get a beautiful curly edge, and secondly, when pressed with a fork, the dough sticks together very well and will not open when frying.

Tip: do not make the curly edge of the dough too wide, as the dough will dry out during frying and may be too hard.

Soft and thin cakes with air potato stuffing both adults and children will like it. Due to the fact that the dough is prepared in a non-traditional way - on cold water, and on boiling water, cakes are very soft. They can also be cooked at once for 2 times. The cooled cakes are perfectly stored in the refrigerator, and after they can be easily reheated in microwave oven. They will become tender and fragrant again.
