Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 pinch salt
ΒΌ cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon melted butter

Steps:

  • In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.

  • On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
  • Sprinkle a little flour into the base of the skillet and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away.

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Tbsp butter
2 cups mashed potato
salt
1 cup plain flour
extra flour for dusting
2 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Melt butter and stir into the potato with the salt. Mix in the flour quickly and thoroughly, and knead lightly.

Tips:

  • Cook the potatoes thoroughly: The potatoes should be cooked until they are soft and fluffy. This will ensure that the potato farls are light and airy.
  • Mash the potatoes well: The potatoes should be mashed until they are smooth and free of lumps. This will help to create a smooth and even texture in the potato farls.
  • Season the potatoes well: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and butter are all essential seasonings for potato farls.
  • Form the potato farls carefully: When forming the potato farls, be careful not to handle them too much. Over-handling can make them tough.
  • Cook the potato farls over medium heat: Cook the potato farls over medium heat to ensure that they cook through evenly without burning.
  • Serve the potato farls warm: Potato farls are best served warm. They can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as butter, cheese, or eggs.
