Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes, cold
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Add the melted butter and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times until smooth.
- Roll the dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut the circle into 4-6 wedges (farls).
- Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
- Cook the farls for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Using cold mashed potatoes is crucial for the best texture.
- Do not overwork the dough, as this can make the farls tough.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your farls and the heat of your griddle.
- These farls are delicious served with butter, jam, or as part of a full breakfast.
