My Healthy Griddle Fried Mashed Potato Breads Recipes

FADGE - IRISH POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F/205 C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato in a large baking bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients together to create a light, but sticky dough.
• Heavily flour your work surface of the board, if you don't use enough flour the dough will stick to the board.
• Roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch/1 centimeter thickness.
• Cut the dough into saucer-sized rounds. Score each round with a cross to mark 4 equal wedges. You can also make individual cakes by cutting with a round biscuit or scone cutter, the size you wish them to be.
• Grease a baking sheet with lots of butter. Carefully lay the rounds onto the sheet (they will be quite soft so you will need to handle carefully; a spatula helps).
• Bake the rounds in the center of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and risen. Once cooked lay onto a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly. These delicious rounds need to be eaten while they are freshly cooked and warm.

IRISH POTATO FARLS

Steps:

• In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
• On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
• Sprinkle a little flour into the base of the skillet and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away.

MY HEALTHY GRIDDLE-FRIED MASHED POTATO BREADS

Steps:

• 1. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, let cool, then peel and grate them. Meanwhile, prepare the ginger chili paste.2. In a large bowl, with clean fingers, mix together the whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, mint and fenugreek leaves, green chili pepper, salt, black pepper, and ajwain seeds. Then mix in the potatoes, oil, and ginger. (By now there should be enough moisture to make the dough. If not, add up to 1/4 cup yogurt to make a semi-firm dough that does not stick to the fingers.) This dough does not require resting time, nor should it be kneaded.3. With lightly oiled hands, divide the dough equally into 10 to 12 round balls and cover with foil to prevent drying. Working with each ball of dough separately, coat with the dry flour, transfer to a cutting board or any other clean flat surface, and, with a rolling pin, roll into a thin 6 to 7-inch circle. (If the dough sticks to the rolling surface, dust with more flour.)4. Heat a tava or a griddle over medium-high heat and cook the breads, turning them once or twice until they are speckled with golden dots on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the griddle, lightly baste with butter, and serve.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
