Time 26m

Yield 2 rounds, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups mashed potatoes (2 lb or 1 kg)
1 cup plain flour (4 oz or 125 g)
2 tablespoons butter
1 dash salt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and mix into the potatoes with the salt.
  • Work in the flour quickly but thoroughly and knead lightly.
  • Divide in two and roll out each half on a floured board to form a circle about the size of a large dinner plate.
  • Cut in quarters (farls) and cook for about 3 minutes on each side in a heavy frying pan in a little bacon fat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality potatoes. This will ensure that your potato farls are fluffy and flavorful.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not mushy. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they should still hold their shape.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps. This will help to ensure that the potato farls are evenly cooked.
  • Add the flour and baking powder to the mashed potatoes and mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this will make the potato farls tough.
  • Form the potato mixture into small, flat cakes. You can use a spoon or your hands to do this.
  • Fry the potato farls in a hot skillet with oil until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  • Serve the potato farls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Potato farls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give potato farls a try.
