Irish potato bread - Traditional farls
A great alternative to a bread, these traditional potato farls are easy to make in a frying pan or a griddle. Made with just a few ingredients and potatoes and flour.
Ingredients
- 400 grams potatoes cooked, baked or boiled
- 50 grams butter
- 120 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat a flat griddle, skillet or a frying pan on medium-heat.
- Mixed potatoes with the flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
- Crumble in the butter and mix everything until it forms a dough. Add more or less flour if your potatoes are dry or liquid. You should end up with a fairly firm dough.
- Bring the dough together and roll out on a lightly oiled kithen surface to a rectangle that's about 1 cm thick.
- Cut the dough into squares or if you prefer you could roll out the dough to a round shape and cut into 4 parts.
- Make sure that your pan is ready and nicely hot. Lightly greese it with oil and place the first potato farls on.
- Bake about 4 minutes on each side, they should be nice and golden in colour. If they are turning brown too quickly, turn down your heat.
- Eat hot and serve instead of bread with your traditional Irish breakfast.
