Intro
Potato farls are one of my favorite foods, and insanely versatile. They are pretty much just mashed potatoes mixed with flour and then fried. They are also known as potato cake or potato bread and are great as a breakfast side dish. You can make sandwiches with them, they go great with omelets, or you can just eat them by themselves.
Here’s what you’ll need for 4 good sized farls:
Ingredients
- 2 Potatoes
- About a teaspoon of melted butter
- 1/2 cup of flour
- salt to taste
- 2 or 3 teaspoons Any sort of oil I would recommend vegetable or peanut oil, but all I had on hand was olive oil.
Step 1
First, peel and cut the potatoes into 3 or 4 pieces and boil them in water for about 20 minutes.
Step 2

Step 6
Step 7
Knead the dough and make it between 1/2 and 1/4 inch thick. Then, cut it into fourths.
Step 8
Step 9
Fry the farls on each side for about 2 minutes, until they are nice and golden brown.
Step 10
You can really do anything with potato farls after they're finished. I just added some salt and pepper and had mine with a tall glass of milk:

I have done these potato pancakes we called them for years. I vary them by adding some lawry’s garlic salt, onions, or others I add corn and parsley. Good no matter what.
