Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping your fluffy potatoes into even-sized chunks for uniform cooking. Cook the cubes in boiling salted water or a steamer for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender, then drain them well.
  2. After draining, let the potatoes sit in a sieve for about 5 minutes to ensure they are completely dry.
  3. Pass the dried potatoes through a sieve or use a potato masher to create a light and fluffy mash.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fluffy mashed potatoes with all-purpose flour, sea salt, black pepper, and melted butter. Mix well until a soft dough forms.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 8-inch round disc and cut it into 6 equal pieces.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter to coat the pan, and carefully place the cut farls into the skillet, frying for about 5 minutes or until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  7. Your Irish Potato Farls are now ready to enjoy! Serve them hot, either alone or alongside traditional breakfast items.
