Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 45 mins


• 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.
• place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. stir in flour, salt and melted butter. mix lightly until dough forms.
• 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.
• 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.
