Description

Traditional Irish Potato Farls: a comforting, rustic Irish breakfast staple. Soft on the inside with a lightly crisp exterior, these potato farls are pan-cooked to golden perfection using simple ingredients, making cozy mornings and St. Patrick’s Day brunches extra satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes, cooled
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Extra flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes, flour, melted butter, and salt until a soft dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead until smooth.
  3. Pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick.
  4. Cut into four wedges.
  5. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook farls for a few minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with butter, eggs, or turkey bacon.
