Potato Farl Recipes

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

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.

Steps:

• Peel and halve potatoes; put in large saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to boil; simmer, covered, 20 to 30 minutes, until fork-tender.
• Drain well; return to saucepan over low heat. Add butter; mash potatoes well. Stir in flour and salt.
• Gather mixture into a ball; turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly until smooth.
• Divide dough in half. Roll out one half into an 8 inches (20 cm) circle, about 1/4 inches thick.
• Cut into quarters; set aside. Repeat with remaining dough.
• In large nonstick skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat. Cook dough quarters in batches, 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, adding more oil as necessary.
• Serve warm.
