Description
Experience the authentic taste of Ireland with these easy-to-make, delicious Irish Potato Farls. This savory flatbread is the perfect accompaniment to any meal or can be enjoyed as a satisfying snack.
Ingredients
– 2 cups mashed potatoes (about 1 pound potatoes)
– 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, plus more for cooking
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/4 cup melted butter, salt, and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round, flat disk about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Cook the farls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve the Irish Potato Farls warm, with additional melted butter, if desired.
Notes
For best results, use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. You can also add chopped herbs, such as chives or parsley, to the dough for extra flavor.
