Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Irish Potato Farls
- Peel and cut the large potatoes into halves or quarters. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.
- Mash the cooled potatoes until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool further.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two balls, flatten each into a disc about ½ inch thick, and cut into quarters.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and cook the potato farls for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked farls to a plate lined with paper towels, serve warm with butter or garnishes.

Notes
Allow mashed potatoes to cool before mixing with flour to ensure better dough texture. Keep farls at an even thickness of ½ inch for even cooking.
