Instructions
- 1
Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and ajwain. Drizzle in the 1/4 cup oil and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse, slightly clumped breadcrumbs. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until the dough just comes together into a firm, smooth ball — it should not be sticky or wet. Knead briefly in the bowl for about 1 minute until smooth. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and rest for 30 minutes.

Cook the potatoes: Place the potato cubes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10–12 minutes. Drain well and return to the saucepan. Roughly crush the potatoes with a fork or potato masher — you want a chunky, not smooth, texture with some small pieces remaining. Set aside.
