  • 6 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour Ensure it is a blend suitable for baking.
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • to taste Additional seasoning Consider garlic powder or chives.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-20 minutes.
  2. Drain and let them dry for a few minutes.
  3. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
  4. In a bowl, combine mashed potatoes with flour, baking powder, and salt to form a thick dough.
  5. On a floured surface, shape the dough into an 8-inch round disc and cut into 8 wedges.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add oil or butter.
  2. Cook potato cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

Store in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in a pan for the best texture. Timing is key: Ensure your potatoes are thoroughly cooked and dry before mashing.
