Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Irish Potato Farls
- Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into halves or quarters. Place in a pot of salted water and boil until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly.
- Mash the cooled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Divide the dough into two balls and flatten each into a disc about ½ inch thick. Cut each disc into quarters to form triangular shapes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and melt. Cook the potato farls for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer cooked farls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess butter. Serve warm with butter or your favorite toppings.

Notes
Store leftover farls in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Freeze for longer storage, and reheat in a skillet for crispy texture.
