Ireland

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.

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 30 min
Total: 45 min

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" circle about 
1/4" 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.
