Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and halved
1 pinch salt
1/4 c all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 Tbsp butter, melted
salt, to taste

Steps:

1. In a pot, cover potatoes with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Simmer on medium-high heat until the center of the potatoes are tender when pricked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Turn off heat. Drain, return potatoes to pot and allow to completely dry out over remaining heat. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
2. Place warm mashed potato in medium bowl. Stir in flour, pinch of salt and melted butter. Mix lightly until dough forms.
3. On a well floured surface, knead the dough lightly. The dough will be sticky. Use a floured rolling pin to flatten into a 9 inch circle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into quarters using a floured knife.
4. Sprinkle a little flour into a skillet and cook the farls, over med-high heat, for 3 minutes on each side or until evenly browned.
5. Season with a little salt and serve.
