⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and boiled until tender
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (more as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
  • Sour cream (for serving, optional)
  • Sauerkraut (for serving, optional)
  • Duck or goose fat (optional, for richer flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes

Drain the boiled potatoes and let them cool slightly.

Mash the potatoes until smooth or pass them through a potato ricer for a finer texture.

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Mix until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to add too much as the dough should remain soft.

Shape the Lokše

Divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.

On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a thin round, about 1/8 inch thick.

Cook the Lokše

Heat a dry, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Cook each rolled-out dough round in the dry skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the lokše is cooked through.

Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Brush each cooked lokše with melted butter (or duck/goose fat for a richer flavor).

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
