- These flatbreads are quick and easy to make. Start by boiling peeled potatoes in salted water. Drain off the water, mash the potatoes, and let them cool. Add the egg and your favorite spices — here you can really make the dish your own, going beyond the usual salt and black pepper with whatever seasonings your family loves. If you happen to have leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge, use those instead of cooking new ones. Add the wheat flour to the potato mixture a little at a time. Don't exceed the amount listed, or the flatbreads will come out stiff and rubbery. If the dough still sticks to your hands, oil them lightly or use a spoon to portion it. Dust the counter with flour and form several balls (the number depends on how big you want the flatbreads — you'll get about 6–7). Roll each portion generously in flour and roll it out into a round with a rolling pin; if you're in a hurry, just press it flat with your palm. Move the flatbreads to a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick them all over with a fork so they don't bubble up. Bake the Finnish flatbreads in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) until golden, about 10–15 minutes. Then brush them with butter. Serve the golden potato flatbreads with all kinds of toppings (fish roe, seafood, mushrooms, a soft cheese spread) or sauces (sour cream, tomato, cheese). They pair well with soups, or with braised meat or fish, and they make a hearty, tasty snack to take to work or school. Enjoy!
