Ingredients
225g potatoes, cooked and mashed with 25g butter
40g butterÂ
70g cream flourÂ
pinch of sea saltÂ
ÂĽÂ tsp baking powderÂ
Method
To make a quick mash, peel and cube the potatoes. In a medium saucepan, boil the potatoes in water, reducing the heat to a simmer for the last 8-10 minutes. The potatoes should be fork tender. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a bowl. Add 25g butter and mash well until no lumps remain. Allow to cool.
To make the farls, stir the flour, salt and baking powder along with the mashed potato together in a large bowl until you have a dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and roll it out to around ¼ inch thickness. Using a large knife, cut the dough into roughly 8 triangle shapes.
In a medium frying pan, melt some butter over a medium high heat. Cook the wedges in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Serve warm.
