Instructions
Wash, peel and chop roughly potatoes. Once peeled, it should be about 1-1/4 pounds. Place a steamer basket into a deep-sided pan and fill just to the bottom of the basket with water. Add potatoes in an even layer. Cover, and bring the water to a simmer over medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.
Transfer potatoes to a mesh sieve set over a mixing bowl and let them dry out for about 5 minutes. Use the back of a spoon to press the potatoes through the mesh sieve and into the bowl below. Once through the sieve, scrape any potato from the underneath side of the sieve.NOTE: Alternatively, you could rice the potatoes, however I feel the mesh sieve does a better job.
To the potatoes add the flour, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper and melted butter. Using a spatula, mix until thoroughly combined. It should form a dough-like consistency.
Shape the dough into an 10-inch round disc that is about a 1/2-inch thick. I eyeball this. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 6 wedges.
melt 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. The butter should melt and is bubbling. Add in the triangles of dough and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until the underneath is golden. Carefully turn each wedge and continue cook for another 5 to 6 minutes.
Serve with a sprinkle of flaky salt and snipped fresh chives.
Best day of but can be reheated and served the next day if desired, however thy will lose their crispy texture.
