Prepare the Dough:
Mash the boiled potato in a bowl until smooth.
Add flour, salt, and baking powder to the mashed potato and mix until it forms a soft dough.
If the dough feels too dry, add a little water (1 tablespoon at a time) until it comes together.
Incorporate the Cheese:
Divide the dough into two equal portions.
Flatten one portion into a round disc (about 1/4 inch thick).
Spread shredded cheese on top, leaving a small border around the edge.
Flatten the second portion of dough and place it over the cheese. Pinch the edges to seal.
Cook the Bread:
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add vegetable oil or butter.
Place the prepared dough in the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cover the pan with a lid to ensure even cooking.
Serve:
Let the cheese potato bread cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Tips for Perfect Cheese Potato Bread
Mash the Potato Smoothly:
Ensure the boiled potato is mashed until completely smooth to avoid lumps in the dough.
Adjust Dough Consistency:
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add water (1 tablespoon at a time).
Seal the Edges Well:
Pinch the edges firmly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking.
Cook on Low Heat:
Cook the bread on medium-low heat to ensure it cooks through without burning the outside.
Cover While Cooking:
Covering the pan with a lid helps the bread cook evenly and ensures the cheese melts completely.
Experiment with Cheese:
Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta for different flavors.
Variations
Herb and Cheese Bread:
Add 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like oregano, thyme, or rosemary) to the dough for extra flavor.
Spicy Cheese Bread:
Add 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the dough for a spicy kick.
Garlic Cheese Bread:
Mix 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic into the dough for a garlicky twist.
Vegetable-Stuffed Bread:
Add finely chopped veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or corn along with the cheese.
Sweet Potato Bread:
Replace the regular potato with sweet potato for a slightly sweet and savory version.
Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread:
Divide the dough into small balls, stuff each with cheese, and cook them together in a pan for a pull-apart effect.
Gluten-Free Cheese Bread:
Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
