Method
- 1
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 18 minutes until completely soft. Drain well and let the steam rise for 2 minutes, then mash until completely smooth with no lumps.
18 min - 2
Leave to cool slightly, then work in the flour and salt to make a soft, slightly tacky dough. Add a spoonful more flour if it sticks to your hands.
- 3
Divide into 8 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out as thin as you can, to about 20 cm across and 2 mm thick.
- 4
Heat a dry non stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until covered in pale gold freckles and just cooked through.
1 min 30 s - 5
Stack on a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to stay soft.

Mix the poppy seeds with the sugar. Brush each flatbread with melted butter, sprinkle with the poppy sugar and roll up. Serve warm.
