Irish Potato Farls (I make these for St. Patty's Day)

[Guest guest]

Irish Potato Farls

 

1 1/4 lb Potatoes (3 or 4)

1 cup Flour, all purpose

4 tsp Vegetable oil

3 TBS Butter or margarine, melted

1/2 tsp Salt

 

Peel and quarter potatoes; put in large

saucepan with enough water to cover.

Bring to boil; simmer, covered, 20 minutes,

until fork-tender.

Drain well; return to saucepan over

low heat.

Add butter; mash potatoes well.

Stir in flour and salt. Gather mixture

into a ball; turn onto lightly floured surface.

Knead lightly until smooth. Divide dough in half.

Roll out one half into an 8 inch circle,

about 1/4 in. thick.

Cut into quarters; set aside.

Repeat with remaining dough.

In large skillet, heat half the oil

over medium-high heat.

Cook dough quarters in batches, 2 minutes on

each side or until golden brown, adding more

oil as necessary.

Serve warm.

 

Tip - add some minced onion or a tsp. of your

favorite herbs.

These are like a thick potato pancake maybe? I'll add some garlic

and make these. I've never heard of these.

Thanks!
