The stuffed flatbreads with potatoes and cheese are amazing, they can be prepared in just a few minutes and are extremely easy to make. In fact, this dough requires no leavening and is very simple to roll out. To make these unleavened flatbreads, you only need a few ingredients: for the dough just flour, water, EVO oil, and salt, while for the filling you will need boiled potatoes (which can be seasoned to taste with oil, salt, and oregano) and cheese of your choice.
You can cook the flatbreads in an air fryer, for a quick cook without the need for preheating, or in a hot oven by increasing the temperature and cooking time. Below you will find all the cooking instructions.
The stuffed flatbreads with potatoes and cheese are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, to impress friends and family: in short, they are suitable for any occasion. In fact, they can also be prepared in advance and reheated just in time.

Ingredients

- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt (level)
- as needed semolina (for rolling out the dough)
- 5 oz cheese of choice
- 3 small potatoes

Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
First, boil the potatoes after peeling them until they become soft. Once ready, drain them well and let cool.
In a bowl, pour the all-purpose flour and add the water at room temperature and the EVO oil. Start mixing with a spoon and then use your hands, still inside the bowl. Add the salt and continue kneading for a few minutes. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, take the boiled potatoes, mash them with a potato masher or a fork; add the EVO oil, salt, and oregano, and mix coarsely.
Take the dough again. Sprinkle some semolina on the work surface (preferably to flour), divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each into a circle: 2 should be slightly smaller, but if they are all the same size, it’s fine. Remember: the dough should not be too thin.
Add the potatoes to the center of one circle leaving the edges free, then also place the sliced cheese. Close with another circle (slightly smaller if possible) and seal all the edges well. I made simple decorations by pinching the dough with my thumb and index finger to form waves.
Transfer the flatbreads to the air fryer basket and cook at 356°F for 15 minutes, flipping them when there are 5 minutes left to cook well on the bottom side too. If you want to bake them in the oven, preheat it to 392°F and bake the flatbreads for 30 minutes. In both cases, you can cook 2 flatbreads together.
Once ready, they will be super crispy on the outside with a soft and creamy heart. Enjoy your meal!
Tips for You
✔ To roll out the dough, I recommend using semolina instead of flour, this way it won’t stick to the dough and it’ll be easier to roll out.
✔ You can double the quantities to your liking or halve them if you want to make just one flatbread.
✔ I recommend making 2 slightly smaller circles (just a bit) to be placed on top to close the flatbreads; this way it will be easier to seal the edges. But if they are the same size it’s perfectly fine, the important thing is that they are not larger than the ones underneath.
✔ As you have seen, it won’t be necessary to use parchment paper to cook the flatbreads in an air fryer, just place them directly in the perforated basket: this way the air passes freely through the holes and the cooking will be faster and more uniform. However, you must turn the flatbreads halfway through cooking, to brown the underside well.
✔ I recommend using the BBQ mesh to insert directly into the non-stick basket of your air fryer: the mesh protects the non-stick coating of the basket (which will remain like new) and allows the food to cook evenly, letting air pass through 360 degrees. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
✔ Alternatively, you can use perforated parchment paper, which allows air to pass from bottom to top. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe, I used the COSORI DUAL BLAZE air fryer, my color white (beautiful). You can see it by clicking here: air fryer.
