Step-by-Step Instructions for Authentic Irish Potato Farls
  1. 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.
  2. Mash the cooled potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mashed potatoes. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Transfer cooked farls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess butter. Serve warm with butter or your favorite toppings.
