How Did I Come up with the Concept of Gluten Free Potato Buns?
After the wild viral success of “I Can’t Believe They’re Passover Bagels” I knew I wanted to make something similar that would be a more bunlike roll. Given that I also want the roll to be gluten-free/non-gebroks/Kosher for Passover, the ingredient list is somewhat limited. And so…the concept of Gluten Free Potato Buns was born.
Making the Potato Buns
This is a fairly easy recipe. You cook potatoes, mash them, add other ingredients, form them into rolls, then bake them.
In fact, these are so simple I’m not going to say much more about them. They speak for themselves!
Ok, we’re all super busy and no one wants to read a ton (read: I’m super busy).
The potatoes matter
I will add one thing though. The type of potatoes you use do matter. I used Yukon Gold in this recipe to give the rolls a naturally sweetish, buttery taste.
Use good quality potatoes.
You can use Idaho russet potatoes or Yukon Gold. Whichever you choose will impact the flavor of the rolls.
That’s all.
Short and sweet.
Here’s the recipe

SHABBOS UNDER PRESSURE MEANS PRESSURE FREE PASSOVER!
FYI: I’m here to help make it way easier for you and reduce your pressure with my book “Shabbos Under Pressure“. I’ve found that using my electric pressure cooker to prepare for Passover, makes the cooking way easier and more efficient. For example, instead of cooking a huge pot of chicken soup on the stove for three hours, taking up valuable space on my stovetop, I can make even better soup in just an hour/hour and a half in my Instant Pot. I’ve even put together a Shabbos Under Pressure Passover Recipe Guide to help you convert the recipes in the book to Passover friendly recipes. If you don’t already have “Shabbos Under Pressure” now would be a great time to order it to ensure that you receive it with enough time to plan and cook your Passover meals.

Ronna Finer-Berman says
Potato rolls sound delicious. I only have almond flour at home. Can I substitute it for the coconut flour?
Sharon Matten says
Great question Ronna! You can substitute the almond flour for coconut flour, however it will change the texture of the buns. Please let me know how yours turn out. All the best, Sharon
Tzivia in BreadLand says
Made tonight, substituted potato starch for the coconut flour, which we don’t have. They were yummy, if a little soft and mushy in the centre. I might bake longer next time. I’m not sure how much it’s worth the work, since there are potato buns widely available here in Israel, but they WERE yummy and quite amazingly easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!!!
Sharon Matten says
So glad you liked them Tzivia! All the best, Sharon
Shoshana says
There must be a mistake with the quantity of baking powder listed. I followed the listed ingredients and the result tasted so overwhelmingly of baking powder that we had to discard :/
Sharon Matten says
So sorry you had this problem. It may have been a problem with your baking powder or how it was mixed. Thanks for your comment, if anyone else had this problem please let me know. All the best, Sharon
