cooked cooled potato; wheat flour; thin rolling; dry hot griddle
Declared allergens: milk, wheat/gluten grain (verify labels and individual medical needs)
Cool promptly in shallow containers, refrigerate within two hours, keep no longer than the recipe's stated period or USDA's 3–4 day ceiling (whichever is shorter), and reheat leftovers to 165°F/74°C when reheating is appropriate.
Do not treat a quality date as proof of safety. Wild greens and mushrooms must be positively identified and food-grade. Diet labels do not guarantee absence of cross-contact. Dish-specific dairy/egg handling instructions remain applicable.

Slovak kitchen
Slovak lokše are tender potato flatbreads rolled thin and cooked on a dry skillet, then brushed with butter.
Boil potatoes in their skins until tender. Drain, cool completely, peel and rice finely.
Mix potatoes with salt and 1½ cups flour, adding only enough extra flour for a soft, workable dough.
Divide into 12 balls. On a floured surface, roll each to an 8-inch round, dusting lightly as needed.
Cook on a dry hot skillet 1–2 minutes per side until spotted. Brush with butter and stack under a towel.
Review ingredient labels for allergens and cross-contact. Follow the recipe’s handling notes, refrigerate perishable food promptly, and use an instant-read thermometer where a safe internal temperature is specified.
