😍 Cheesy Skillet Potato Bread (Stovetop, No Yeast, No Eggs)

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled & boiled
  • 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2–4 tbsp warm water (as needed)

For the cheese filling

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
  • Optional: chopped green onions, parsley, or herbs
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder

For cooking

  • 1–2 tbsp oil or butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Dough

  1. Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth (no lumps).
  2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil/butter.
  3. Mix together and knead gently.
  4. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until a soft dough forms.
    • Dough should be smooth, not sticky.

2. Shape the Bread

  1. Divide dough into 2 equal balls.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle (about 8–9 inches).
  3. Place the shredded cheese on one circle, leaving a small border.
  4. Add herbs or seasoning if using.
  5. Place the second circle on top and pinch edges to seal.
  6. Gently flatten with hands.

3. Cook in a Skillet

  1. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Lightly oil the pan.
  3. Place the bread in the skillet.
  4. Cook 4–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
    • Press gently with a spatula to cook evenly.
  5. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.

4. Serve

Slice and serve warm — the cheese inside should be melty and gooey!
Great with:

  • Sour cream
  • Garlic butter
  • Marinara
  • Fresh herbs

Tips

  • Add chili flakes or jalapeños for a spicy version.
  • Use leftover mashed potatoes — just reduce flour if dough feels dry.
  • Try a garlic herb butter brush at the end for extra flavor.
