Ingredients

1 kg of boiled potatoes in their skins (ideally one day old)
300 g all-purpose flour
a pinch of salt
plum jam for spreading
powdered sugar for sprinkling
melted butter for brushing
ground poppy seeds for sprinkling

Preparation procedure

Preparing the potatoes Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them finely. Leave them in a bowl for a while (allow to cool or rest until the next day).
Dough Add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the grated potatoes. Work into a smooth, non-sticky dough. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water.
Shaping the lokše Divide the dough into a roll about 4 cm in diameter. Cut into about 16 equal pieces. Flatten and press each piece by hand, then roll out into a thin round about 20 cm in diameter.
Cooking Heat a dry pan over medium heat. Cook the lokše in it for 1–2 minutes on each side, until golden spots appear on the surface. Place the finished lokše on a plate and cover with a cloth to keep them soft.
Finishing Brush the baked lokše with melted butter, spread a layer of plum jam, sprinkle with powdered sugar and ground poppy seeds. Stack them and serve warm.
