Traditional Potato Farls

Traditonal Potato Bread Farls. Perfect for breakfast with your Ulster Fry or simply spread with butter and eaten as a snack. Only four ingredients.
Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Course Breakfast, Snack
Servings 8 farls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb or 500g potatoes, boiled and mashed
  • 4 oz or 110g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 oz or 55g butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • After you have boiled and mashed the potatoes, flour your work surface with a little of the measured flour and add the (still warm) potatoes.
  • Sprinkle with the salt and pour over the melted butter.
  • Add just enough flour to bind the potatoes together. You may not need it all.
  • Knead lightly to combine, then roll out to about half a centimeter/quarter of an inch thick and cut into farls.
  • Cook on a hot griddle (or as I did, a non-stick frying pan) until browned. This should take about 7 to 10 minutes in total.
  • Cool on a cloth, so they remain soft.
