Ingredients
  

For the Farls
  • 4 medium Potatoes (Russet, Maris Piper, Roosters) Choose fluffy potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free option available.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop the medium potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a medium pot, covering with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20–25 minutes until tender. Drain and steam in a sieve for 5 minutes.
  2. Once cooled, pass them through a fine sieve or potato ricer into a mixing bowl.
  3. Fold in the all-purpose flour, sea salt, black pepper, and melted butter. Mix until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into an 8-inch round disc, about half an inch thick. Cut into six wedges.
  5. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry wedges for about 5 minutes until golden, flip, and fry the other side for 4–5 minutes.
  6. Remove from skillet, place on paper towels, and serve hot.
