Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups Mashed Potatoes Ensure they are cooled before use for best texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour May substitute with gluten-free flour, but texture may vary.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for flavor; no substitutions required.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) Adds richness and flavor; can use non-dairy alternative if desired.
For Cooking
  • Non-Stick Skillet Required for cooking the farls.

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooled mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and melted butter. Stir gently until the mixture forms a soft dough, taking care not to overwork it.
  2. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and begin kneading it gently for about 1 minute until it’s smooth.
  3. Roll the kneaded dough into a circular shape about 1/4-inch thick. Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into quarters.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes.
  5. Carefully place the cut farls in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once both sides of the farls are perfectly browned, remove them from the skillet and serve warm.
