They are prepared simply, they turn out ruddy, fragrant and appetizing!

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 1 h

Step 1:
Let's prepare the basis for this dish - it's mashed potatoes. Potatoes are cleaned, washed and boiled in salted water until tender. It takes about 20-25 minutes - it depends on the size of the tubers. Drain all the water, add butter and crush the potatoes. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a bowl. Try it with salt, if it is not enough, then the potatoes can be salted.
Step 2:
Drive eggs into a bowl with slightly cooled crumpled potatoes and add grated hard cheese on a coarse grater. It is better to use homemade eggs, then the dough will acquire a rich yellow color, and the finished dish will be more delicious.
Step 3:
Mix everything well with a spoon or fork. You should get a viscous mass.
Step 4:
Then pour in the sifted flour.
Step 5:
Knead the dough. The amount of flour may differ slightly from the one indicated in the recipe, since flour can be different. Be guided by the fact that the dough should have a suitable consistency so that it can be made into balls. It should not stick to your hands, but it should not be too mealy.
Step 6:
Four small cakes will come out of the resulting dough, so visually divide it into 4 parts and roll a bun out of each.
Step 7:
Pour vegetable oil into the pan and let it warm up. Next, we take a ball of dough, transfer it to a frying pan and knead it with a spoon into a flatbread - we don't make a flatbread too thin, it should turn out lush. Fry the workpiece on one side over moderate heat for 4-5 minutes until browning.
Step 8:
Flip to the other side and fry for the same time. Remove the finished tortilla from the pan and fry the other three pieces.

It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baking will turn out to be airy and will rise well when baking.

Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
