Irish Potato Farls are a classic Irish skillet bread made with mashed potatoes, flour, butter, and salt. They cook quickly on the stovetop and develop a light crust with a soft center. This easy homemade recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a cozy side dish. Serve them warm with butter, eggs, or alongside soups and stews.
1 pound potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional milk, as needed
Boil potatoes until tender, then drain and mash.
Mix in butter and salt.
Add flour and form a soft dough.
Shape into a round and cut into wedges.
Cook on a dry skillet over medium heat until golden on both sides.
Use starchy potatoes for best texture. Reheat in a skillet for crisp edges.
