Khachapuri with potatoes

Cookinero 10 Mar 2025

Traditionally, khachapuri is a rich unleavened dough with a cheese filling. However, there are many variations of preparation. You can make khachapuri with potatoes, removing the cheese from the recipe or leaving a little in the filling. If you cook khachapuri with potatoes in a frying pan, they will taste very similar to potato pies.

How to cook Khachapuri with potatoes

Step 1

Khachapuri with potatoes

Prepare the dough. Heat the milk until it is slightly warm and dissolve the yeast in it. Pour 2.5 cups of flour into a deep bowl. You will need the remaining half cup later. Pour the milk into the flour. Add the egg and butter. Mix thoroughly. The dough should become smooth and soft. Cover with cling film and put in a warm place for 60 minutes.

Step 2

Khachapuri with potatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast in the same quantity. However, you may skip the milk warming step since instant yeast doesn’t require activation—just mix it directly with the flour.
For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. The texture may vary slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for best texture—microwaving may make the dough soggy.
Yes! Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum) for the dough and ensure your other ingredients are gluten-free. The dough may be stickier, so handle gently.
Freeze cooked and cooled khachapuri in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Yes! Brush the khachapuri with oil and air-fry at 375°F for 5–7 minutes per side until golden. Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model.
Try spinach and cheese, mashed beans with spices, or even a meat-based filling. Adjust seasoning to complement your chosen filling for best results.
For appetizer-sized portions, divide the dough into 12–15 pieces. For larger meals, make 4–6 pieces. Adjust frying time slightly based on thickness.
