Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and boiling the potatoes in a pot of water until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes thoroughly until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh cilantro.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt substitute if using. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Step 6

Place the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Step 7

After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and roll out with a rolling pin into oval or round shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a piece of naan on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until bubbles form and it’s golden brown.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining dough, keeping the cooked naan warm wrapped in a clean kitchen towel or foil.

Step 10

Serve the low sodium potato naan warm with your favorite dishes or as a snack.
