🇮🇪 Ireland recipe

Potato Farls

Potato farls are an essential component of the Ulster fry, the magnificent breakfast of Northern Ireland. The word 'farl' comes from the Scots word 'fardel' meaning a quarter, referring to the triangular shape cut from a round of potato bread. Made from leftover mashed potato mixed with flour and butter, they are cooked on a hot griddle until golden on each side, yielding a bread that is starchy, soft, and utterly addictive when fried in bacon fat alongside your morning eggs.
