Irish Potato Farls
4 medium potatoes, peeled and halved
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1 tablespoon melted butter
In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over
high heat.
Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are
tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes.
Turn off heat.
Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out
over remaining heat.
Mash with a potato masher 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 the skillet and cook
the farls for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned.
Season with a little salt and serve straight away.
