Potato Mixture
- 250 g floury potato such as King Edward or Russet
- 25 g butter
- 75 g all purpose flour plus extra for rolling out
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoon sliced green onions
- Salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into quarters, then boil them in salted water until very tender. Drain and steam dry for a couple of minutes, then mash with a potato masher, mix in butter and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste and cool to room temperature.
To the bowl with mashed potatoes add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and sliced green onions, mix to form a dough. It should come away from the sides of the bowl. Loosen with a bit of milk if too dry or add a tablespoon of flour if too wet. Divide the dough in half and shape into balls.
On a floured surface roll out one ball of the dough into a disk about 1 inch thick and cut into quarters.
Fry on a hot and dry pan for 4 minutes on one side or until you see golden patches, cover with a lid for a couple of minutes for the farls to puff up, flip and cook for 3 minutes longer. Repeat with the remaining dough.
