Preparation
- Peel and chop potatoes into even chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them sit in a sieve for about 5 minutes to dry out.
- Mash the potatoes using a sieve or potato ricer until smooth and fluffy.
- Combine mashed potatoes with flour, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Knead until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dough into an 8-inch disc about ½ inch thick, and cut into six triangular pieces.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and fry the farls for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Let them drain briefly on paper towels and serve immediately.
