Ingredients
Scale
2 cups of mashed potatoes
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Salt, to taste
Butter or oil, for frying
Chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Cheddar cheese (optional)
Extra butter for serving (optional)
Paprika for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes: If you’re starting with fresh potatoes, boil them until tender, then mash them with a little butter and salt. Or, if you’ve got leftover mashed potatoes sitting in the fridge, go ahead and use those.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together to ensure even distribution.
Add the potatoes: Gradually add your mashed potatoes to the dry mixture. Use a fork or your hands to combine until a soft dough forms.
Shape and roll: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it just a couple of times. Pat it into a circle about ½ inch thick, then cut it into quarters.
Fry them up: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add butter or oil and cook each farl for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve warm: Enjoy fresh off the skillet topped with butter or plain.
