A social-media bread alternative for people avoiding flour. The ingredients are cheap and simple, but the mixture is very soft and hard to shape. The flavor was a letdown, which is worth knowing before you try it.
Method
Boil the potato until tender.
Mash the boiled potato together with the avocado using a fork.
Add the egg, strained yogurt, salt and baking powder and mix well.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe it onto the tray in whatever shape you like.
Bake until golden on top, checking that the center is cooked through before taking it out.

- The mixture is too soft to shape by hand, so use a piping bag.
- In the video the inside stayed raw, so do not cut the baking short and check the middle.
FAQ
Can this mixture be shaped like a burger bun?
Not by hand, judging by the video. It was only manageable when piped onto the tray with a piping bag.
