potato farls

Use up leftover mashed potato in these breakfast pancakes, delicious with bacon and eggs

Potato pancakes

potato

plain flour

tsp baking powder

eggs

milk

chives

sunflower oil

butter

crispy bacon and scrambled eggs to serve, if you like

If you’ve got potatoes not mash, cook them in boiling water until tender. Drain well and press through a potato ricer or mash. Weigh out 250g and cool.

Sieve the flour and baking powder onto cooled mash. Whisk eggs and milk together and add to the potato mix with the chives. Whisk the batter until smooth.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add ½ tsp sunflower oil and a dot of butter. When the fat is hot, start to cook the pancakes. Add 1 tbsp of batter for each pancake and cook 4 at a time. Cook for about 1 min until the underside is golden brown and small bubbles appear.

Flip the pancakes and cook until golden. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes in the same way, adding a tiny bit of oil and butter to the pan as and when needed. Serve the pancakes in stacks with creamy scrambled egg and crisp rashers of streaky bacon.

If you want a true Irish breakfast, make my Authentic Irish Potato Farls recipe — perfectly fried up and served next to eggs and bacon!

Authentic Irish Potato Farls Recipe

(650 grams/1lb 7 ounces) 3 medium potatoes ((Russet, Maris Piper, Roosters))

(4 ounces 115 grams) all-purpose flour

sea salt

black pepper

(1 ounces 28 grams) butter ((plus more for cooking))

Peel and chop your potatoes and THEN weigh them for the recipe. It is more accurate this way.

Steam or boil the cubed potatoes in a medium pot until tender, roughly 20-25 minutes.

Remove the potatoes from the pot and place them in a sieve over a bowl, allowing them to dry off slightly for 5 minutes.

While still hot, pass the potatoes through the sieve to yield light, fluffy potatoes. If you don&#039;t have a sieve you can use a ricer or masher to mash the potatoes either.

Into the potatoes, add in the flour, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Stir the dough together until it forms a ball.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and flatten it into an 8 inch round disc. Using a large knife cut the disc into 6 pieces.

Melt a big knob of butter in a large frying pan or skillet over medium heat until bubbling. Carefully add the potato farls and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until a lovely golden brown. Flip them over and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side. They should be crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.

Serve immediately while hot as part of a traditional Irish breakfast or simply on their own.

A potato Farl goes by many names! It's also known as potato fadge, potato cakes, griddle cakes, and boxty. It originated out of a way to use up leftover mashed potatoes from the dinner the night before. Made with cupboard staples, it's a humble recipe that might not seem like much but boy are they delicious.

Authentic Irish Potato Farls ☘️

This traditional Irish Potato Farls recipe is so easy! Also known as potato bread or cakes, Farls are a tasty classic breakfast from Ireland.

Irish Potato Farls

butter (plus extra for frying)

salt

(100 grams) all-purpose flour

baking powder

Boil the potatoes in a pan until tender, approx 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the chunks.

Drain well, then mash or use a potato ricer.

Stir in the butter and salt (if your mashed potatoes are cold, then melt the butter first).

Stir the flour and baking powder together, then add to the potatoes. Stir or use your hands to bring it together into a dough.

Lightly flour the work surface, then roll 1/3 of the dough out to a circle about 5mm thick. Dust the top with a little flour and cut the circle into four pieces with a cross.

Heat a large dry frying pan (no oil or butter) and fry the farls in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until they get dark spots and are cooked through. Repeat rolling and frying the rest of the dough.

To serve, heat a pan, spread both sides of the farls with butter and fry each side for a few minutes until crispy and warm.
