Irish Potato Farls

Well, hello everybody! My it feels like it's been a long time! Did you all enjoy Conference? I know I did! Just thought I'd share a quick recipe with you. We had these on St. Patrick's Day. Mercedes enjoyed them so much, we've eaten them a few times since. Instead of flouring my pan, I greased it; and, they turned out yummy! Love to you all!


Irish Potato Farls

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
  • 1 pinch salt (I used 1/2 t. and sprinkled a little more on top)
  • 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.
