These are very yummy, moist and focaccia like buns. The original recipe comes from a famours German chef (the German Jamie Oliver), called Tim Mälzer. I have modified it slightly to suit my taste. Feel free to sub other herbs and spices for the Italian blend I used. These are great for dinner or lunch perhaps served with a soup or topped with cheese.

8 buns (change servings and units)

Ingredients

200 g potatoes, cooked (best day old, 1 1/4 cup)
300 g flour (2 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
175 ml water (3/4 cup)
1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs (or whichever type you would like to try)
grated cheese (optional)

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
2
Grate the potatoes finely into a big bowl.
3
Add flour, baking powder, salt, herbs. Mix well. Add water and oil. Stir well to combine.
4
Using your hands form small balls, put them onto a paper-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly. Sprinkle with cheese if using.
5
Bake for about 30 minutes (you might want to check after 20 minutes).
6
Enjoy.

Note: These are great eaten directly from the oven, but can also be eaten cold.

A wonderful savory dinner roll . I fixed a roast with potatoes and had these as a side. A great addition. I love the added italian herbs which came thru nicely. I also added in 1 t. of garlic powder and a sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Baked up nicely in 30 minutes. Made for HolidayTag.

Great biscuits - very easy and quick to make. I used a pizza seasoning instead of the Italian herbs and they turned out great. Will definitely make these again. Thanks for posting this Lalaloula! Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

Quick to make and very good. I used leftover mashed (no milk, no butter) and though I was skeptical about the pizza taste being there it came thru in the Italian herbs. I preferred mine cold with a bit of butter so much so that three of them were my bedtime snack last night. Thanks Laura, these will be made again and again. Made for RS#32.

You are right these are great right out of the oven. What a nice quick and easy to make bun. A wonderful way to use that left or potato or the left over mashed potatoes. Made using whole wheat flour, oregano, basil, and parmesan cheese. Think next time will also add a little garlic. Will be making again. Thanks for the post.
