Delicious irish potato farls recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash 2 large russet potatoes thoroughly under running water.
  2. Cut the potatoes into quarters and place them in a large pot filled with cold salted water.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  5. Mash the potatoes until smooth and lump-free while they are still hot.
  6. Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly before proceeding.
  7. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
  8. Gradually add the mashed potatoes into the dry mixture until combined.
  9. If desired, add chopped fresh chives for extra flavor.
  10. Lightly flour your countertop and transfer your potato dough onto it.
  11. Gently knead the dough just until everything is combined, forming it into a round disc about an inch thick.
  12. Cut the disc into four equal wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  13. Pat each wedge down into flatter rounds if desired.
  14. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter until melted.
  15. Place two potato wedges in the pan at once, cooking each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  16. Repeat with remaining wedges, adding more butter as needed.
  17. Garnish with fresh chives if desired, then serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Store leftover potato farls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.

Reheat potato farls in a skillet for crispy edges, enhancing their delicious texture.

Serve with butter and jam for a delightful sweet-savory breakfast treat.

Use starchy potatoes for best results; they create a fluffier, tastier farl.
