Potato Crackers

Name: Potato Crackers
Ingredients: 200 g mashed potatoes; 120 g flour; 70 g butter; 1 egg yolk; salt; 1 egg white; sesame seeds, cheese

These crackers come out wonderfully flaky and are made from mashed potatoes. It's best if the mash is "dry" — meaning made without milk — but if you have some leftover mash from the night before, that works too; you may just need a little extra flour, and they'll still turn out great! For the topping, feel free to use whatever you like — cheese, sesame seeds, caraway, cumin, or any other spices to your taste. These crackers turned out absolutely delicious; the three of us — my husband, our kid, and I — polished them off in one sitting. They go great with beer, wine, tea, or coffee. In short, if you're a fan of savory baked goods, these crackers are for you!

How to cook potato crackers

Boil the potatoes in salted water, then mash them. Be sure to let the mash cool completely — cold mash requires less flour, which means the crackers will be more tender and flavorful.

Add the melted butter, egg yolk, and salt.

Mix together, then add the flour.

Stir the dough together with a spoon.

Shape into a ball.

Dust the dough and rolling pin with flour, then roll out into a thin sheet.

Fold the sheet into quarters.

Dust with flour again, roll out, fold again, and repeat one more time. Chill the finished rectangle thoroughly — the quickest way is to pop it in the freezer for 15–20 minutes.

Roll out to about 4–6 mm thick and cut out the crackers.

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with the egg white and sprinkle with your chosen toppings — I used sesame seeds and cheese.
