traditional irish potato farls

Yet another delicious traditional Irish food! The word farl originates from the Gaelic word fardel meaning four parts. These potato griddle breads can be made with leftover mashed potatoes too. Serve hot with a little butter and salt, or fry them alongside soda bread as part of an Ulster Fry-up. Traditionally, these are served with scrambled eggs, baked brown beans, a few sausage links or bacon with soda bread toast for breakfast or brunch. You'll be so full you won't eat for 2 days!

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved

1 pinch salt

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions:

1) 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

2) Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms

3) 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

4) 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

Bon appétit!
