Boil old potatoes in salted water with a little vinegar until tender.

Drain the potatoes and cover them, letting them sit in the fridge overnight.

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a fine grater.

Add salt to the flour and mix it in.

Dump the grated potatoes into the flour mixture on your work surface.

Cut the mixture in half and roll half into a long log.

Cut the log into small rounds to form tortillas.

Dust the work surface with flour and press each round into the flour to prevent sticking.

Roll out each round into a rustic shape, not necessarily a perfect circle.

Place rolled tortillas on a clean kitchen towel, dusting with flour between them if overlapping.

Heat a cast iron skillet to medium without adding any fat.

Cook each tortilla for about 4 minutes on each side until brown spots form, puncturing air bubbles with a fork as needed.

Remove cooked tortillas with a wooden tool and place them on a plate.

Brush finished tortillas with duck fat or serve with poppy seeds and jam or garlic filling.
