Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes: Peel and halve the potatoes. Place them in a large saucepan, covering them with enough water. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for 20 to 30 minutes or until fork-tender.
-
Mash Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and mash the potatoes until they are smooth.
-
Add Flour and Salt: Stir in the flour and salt, creating a cohesive mixture. Gather the mixture into a ball.
-
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly until smooth.
-
Roll and Cut: Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half into an 8-inch (20 cm) circle, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Cook in Skillet: In a large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the dough quarters in batches, around 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more oil as necessary.
-
Serve Warm: There you have it! Your Potato Farls are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them warm, savoring the delightful combination of crispy exterior and soft interior.
Cooking Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of your favorite herbs or spices to the dough.
- Ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding the dough quarters for that perfect golden-brown finish.
