Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups Mashed Potatoes Use leftover mashed potatoes for moisture and flavor; avoid those heavy with cream.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (melted) Adds rich flavor; oil or margarine can serve as alternatives.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs Chives or parsley can impart a delightful flavor twist.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and melted butter. Stir until a soft dough begins to form.
  2. Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn out your potato dough onto it. Knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic.
  3. Roll the kneaded dough into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the circle into quarters to shape the farls.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the cut farls in the skillet, cooking each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Remove the Irish Potato Farls from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or toppings of your choice.

Notes
