Coca de patata

Valldemossa’s fluffy potato bun, made with boiled potato, sugar and lard, eaten with hot chocolate or almond ice cream.

  • Serves 8
  • 3 h

Ingredients

  • 250 g boiled, peeled potato
  • 500 g strong bread flour
  • 150 g sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 100 g lard
  • 25 g fresh yeast
  • Lemon zest and icing sugar

How to make it at home

  1. Mash the boiled potato and mix it with the lard, sugar, eggs and zest.
  2. Add the yeast dissolved in a little warm water and the flour, and knead into a soft dough.
  3. Shape into round buns, place them on a tray and leave them to double in size.

The trick: The dough is sticky: oil your hands to shape the buns.
