Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk or milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation Steps
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes and chopped onions. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper, mixing well.
Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter, stirring until the mixture forms a sticky dough. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula to about 1-inch thickness.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
This flatbread is delicious served warm, accompanied by butter, sour cream, or your favorite Swedish cheeses. It also pairs well with smoked salmon or pickled vegetables for a traditional Scandinavian touch.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the potatoes are well-drained to prevent a soggy dough.
