Description
Discover the easy, 10-minute recipe for classic Irish Potato Farls – a delicious and versatile breakfast or snack that’s sure to become a new family favorite.
Ingredients
– 1 lb potatoes, peeled and diced
– 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
1. 1. In a large pot, cover the diced potatoes with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes until smooth.
2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the mashed potatoes and butter, and mix until a soft dough forms. Add the milk and knead briefly until the dough comes together.
3. 3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll or pat it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 4-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass.
4. 4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the farls for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
5. 5. Serve the Irish Potato Farls warm, with butter, jam, or other desired toppings.
Notes
For a flakier texture, you can incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers before adding the mashed potatoes and milk. Refrigerate any leftover farls in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
