Ingredients
  

For the Farls
  • 3 medium Potatoes (Russet, Maris Piper, or Roosters) Choose fluffy, high-starch potatoes.
  • ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour Can be substituted with gluten-free blend if needed.
  • teaspoons Sea Salt Essential for flavor enhancement.
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Adds warmth and depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter More for cooking; use oil for dairy-free.

Equipment

  • large pot
  • mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Sieve or ricer
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Steps
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping the potatoes into uniform pieces. Steam or boil for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. While warm, pass the potatoes through a sieve or ricer to achieve a light and fluffy texture, ensuring no lumps.
  3. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, sea salt, black pepper, and melted butter. Stir until it forms a soft dough.
  4. On a floured surface, flatten the dough into an 8-inch round disc, about ½-inch thick. Cut into six wedges.
  5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat with butter. Fry each farl for 5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, ideally with eggs, tomatoes, and crispy bacon.
