Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes Use leftover, cooled mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free options like rice or oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for flavor enhancement
  • 2 tablespoons butter Melted for richness

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine leftover cooled mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and melted butter. Stir until a cohesive dough forms, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Lightly flour a clean work surface, then turn the dough out onto it. Gently knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Roll the dough into a circle approximately 1/4 inch thick. Cut the rolled dough into quarters, forming triangular shapes.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. There's no need for oil, as the butter in the dough will provide sufficient greasing.
  5. Carefully place each farl in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Once cooked, allow the farls to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or your favorite toppings.

Notes
