Ingredients

  • 1 4 Serving Packet Instant Mashed Potatoes I used Sour Cream and Chive for this recipe but any Gluten Free flavor works
  • 1 Cup Gluten Free Flour that measures cup for cup (I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour)
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Unsalted, grated or cut into tiny cubes
  • 6-8 Tablespoons Cold Water

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine instant potatoes, gluten free flour and baking powder
  • Work the butter into the flour and potato mixture, until crumbly.
  • Add 6 tablespoons of water, mix well and add the remaining water, if needed to create a dough. Using your hands is easier than using a spoon.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 - 60 minutes for a flaky textured cracker.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Working with half the dough at a time, roll out the dough to ¼˝ thickness.
  • Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut crackers into desired shape and place on cookie sheet.
  • Push the tines of a fork into each cracker a couple of times to prevent the crackers from puffing.
  • Bake the crackers for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Cooking time will vary some depending on how thin the crackers are rolled. The crackers are done when they are gold brown.
  • Use any flavor of instant mashed potatoes that is gluten free. Work with half the dough at a time for easier rolling.
  • A silicone pastry mat keeps the dough from sticking to the counter and works great with other gluten free doughs. It’s worth having one.
  • Place the plastic wrap the dough was wrapped in over the dough before rolling. It keeps the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into crackers. Reroll any scraps of dough, if needed.
  • The crackers stay fresh for a week or so in an air tight container at room temperature.
