Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup white flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 4 cups watercress mashed potatoes (page 185), or regular mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups Cilantro-Jalapeno sauce (page 184)

Method

  • To make the batter, mix the flours and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and 1 1/2 cups water.
  • Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until the batter just comes together.
  • Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat.
  • When the pan is hot, drop 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet, immediately tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter evenly.
  • Cook the crepe for roughly 1 minute, until it is set on the bottom, then gently loosen the edges with a heatproof spatula nd flip.
  • Cook on the second side for 30 seconds, or until firm.
  • Slide the crepe onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place a crepe flat on a cutting board and place 1/3 cup of the mashed potatoes on one half of the crepe.
  • Scatter 2 tablespoons of the cheese over the potatoes, followed by a pinch of salt, and fold the crepe over the filling.
  • Place the filled crepe on the baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining crepes.
  • Lightly brush the crepes with a little olive oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve hot with the sauce poured on top.
