Title: Irresistible Cheese Potato Bread in a Pan – No Oven, No Yeast, No Eggs!

  1. Boil the potatoes until soft, then mash them until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder.
  3. Knead the mixture into a soft dough, adding milk or water if needed. Avoid over-kneading.

Step 2: Add the Cheese Filling

  1. Divide the dough into equal portions and flatten each piece into a small disc.
  2. Place some shredded cheese in the center of each disc. Fold and seal the dough around the cheese to form a ball, then gently flatten it into a thick patty.

Step 3: Cook in a Frying Pan

  1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and add butter or oil.
  2. Cook the cheese-filled bread for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Serving and Storage Tips

  • Serving: Enjoy warm, straight from the pan, for the best gooey cheese texture. Pair it with sour cream, yogurt, or a simple dip for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze uncooked cheese potato bread by wrapping them individually in parchment paper. Cook them straight from frozen, adding a minute or two to the frying time.

Variants

  • Herb-Infused: Add chopped parsley, chives, or dried Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
  • Spicy Kick: Mix in a pinch of red chili flakes or paprika for a spicy twist.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free cheese and replace milk with water or a plant-based alternative.
  • Stuffed Veggies: Add finely chopped spinach, caramelized onions, or sautéed mushrooms to the cheese filling.

FAQ

1. Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes! Sweet potatoes will give a slightly sweeter taste and a softer texture. You may need to adjust the flour amount slightly.

2. What’s the best cheese to use?
Cheddar and mozzarella are great choices. Mozzarella melts beautifully, while cheddar adds a sharp flavor. You can experiment with other cheeses like Gouda or Monterey Jack.

3. Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You may need to adjust the liquid to get the right consistency.

4. How do I prevent the cheese from leaking out?
Make sure to properly seal the dough around the cheese and press the edges together before flattening. Chilling the filled dough before cooking can also help.

5. Can I bake this instead of frying?
Yes! If you prefer a healthier option, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
