INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
• 1 pinch salt
• 30g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
  
  

METHOD

• In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the centre of the potatoes are tender when checked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash until smooth.
• Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
• On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
• Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
• Sprinkle a little flour into the base of a dry frying pan and cook the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned. Season with a little salt and serve straight away
