Peel and cut up 3 large potatoes, then boil them until warm.

Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl.

Add 7 teaspoons of instant yeast and 3 teaspoons of sugar to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Incorporate 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of salt, and 3 tablespoons of oil into the mixture.

Knead the dough for about 5 to 7 minutes until it has an elastic consistency.

Place the kneaded dough in a nonstick sprayed bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

Once risen, take about half a cup of dough and flatten it out like a pizza.

Preheat oil in a pan to 350°F for frying.

Fry the flattened dough in the preheated oil until golden brown on both sides, pushing it down with a strainer to ensure it cooks evenly.

Remove the fried dough and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.
