Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them with butter and a little milk until smooth.
- In a frying pan, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add grated carrot and cook until softened.
- Stir in grated pickled cucumbers and cook until excess liquid evaporates.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Make the Dough:
- In a deep bowl, pour kefir and stir in baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes until slightly bubbly.
- Add vegetable oil, egg, and salt to the kefir mixture. Mix well until smooth.
- Gradually add flour, stirring with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and slightly sticky. Add more flour if needed, but the dough should remain soft.
- Assemble and Cook the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin round flatbread (about 6-7 inches in diameter).
- Place a generous spoonful of the cooled filling in the center of each flatbread round. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and forming a stuffed flatbread.
- Fry the Flatbreads:
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil.
- Place the stuffed flatbreads in the pan, seam side down. Cook covered for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.
- Flip the flatbreads and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the pan and place them on a plate.
- Optionally, brush the hot flatbreads with melted butter and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Serve the flatbreads warm. They are delicious on their own or with a side of yogurt or sour cream.
