  • Irish Potato Bread Farls, also known as potato cakes or potato farls, is a traditional Northern Irish bread that is simple and delicious. Made from mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and butter, these farls are a staple of the Irish breakfast, often served alongside sausages, bacon, eggs, and tomatoes.
    The dough is mixed until it forms a pliable texture, then rolled out into a circle and divided into quarters or "farls." These are then cooked on a griddle or frying pan until golden brown. The exterior is slightly crispy, while the inside remains soft and fluffy, with a comforting potato flavor that pairs well with sweet and savory toppings.
    Potato bread farls are deeply rooted in Irish culinary tradition, offering a hearty and satisfying meal component, particularly in the morning. They are also popular during economic hardship, as potatoes are a cost-effective ingredient. Beyond breakfast, potato farls can be enjoyed as a snack, often buttered or topped with jam or cheese.
    Their versatility and delicious taste have made potato bread farls a beloved food in Ireland and worldwide, wherever Irish cuisine is cherished.

      As a woman who has taken the path of least resistance, I have always used a potato peeler. Since finding you ( err…your channel😂), I am in awe of your peeling skills with a paring knife 🔪. To me that is an art in itself. I have never managed to wind up with a decent amount of the actual potato “meat” at the end of my peeling efforts… there should be a class in that somewhere when we are all beginning first attempts as new “cooks”. Hoping to make this as it screams comfort food 😋. I know that all the years of bread making has allowed me to appreciate what wonderful bread is made when adding potato water or dehydrated potato flakes. There’s no end to what delight comes from the lowly potato! 😍

    My grandmother would take potatoes like you have with the eyes on them and peel them exactly the way you have and she would take them eyes on the peelings and save them for 24 hours and let the dry a bit then plant them in her garden and she always had good potato harvest.

    My husband is from the highlands of Guatemala. They grow red potatoes there. I have filled bell peppers with a mix of mashed potato and masa harina de maiz (corn flour for tortillas) to make kind of a creamy pudding like fill. I'll have to try making some farls with wheat flour and some with masa harina de maiz. Your farls remind me a bit of papusas which are the masa harina de maiz with fillings inside such as mashed beans, cheese.

      Always fried in the pan after the bacon fat for extra flavour,
      they will soak up a lot of fat so don't put too much in the pan.

    Many thanks & you've brought back lots of memories❤ My late Mum used to make these & then I did. I grow my own potatoes in New Zealand with comfrey & have dug most of them now. Years ago when staying with a Northern Irish family, the mother made potato cakes & soda bread for me. I've also made potato latkes with onion & sometimes added left over veges. Very versatile & delectable. We've just had St Patrick's Day in NZ ☘ Top o' the mornin' tae ye & I've picked dear wee shamrocks in Limerick. Blessings! 😊

      These are not farls they are potato bread, they even have nicknames depending on where in Ireland you live,
      e.g., fadge or slim, but mostly called potato bread. Farls are used to describe a type of Irish soda bread. It's
      about the size of a medium plate and about at least an inch thick, when put flat onto a griddle to cook it is
      immediately quartered and slightly separated in the pan, each of these quarters is referred to as a farl.

    Hi, Rik! Thank you for reminding me to cook this. A "true" Transylvanian here. I am always fascinated to see similar foods cooked from common ingredient. There is a finite way to cook simply. My family used to prepare these in two ways: like your recipe (and yes, potatoes must be as hot as possible), served with gravy or meatballs simmered in tomato sauce, or as dessert (sweetened and served with cream/sour cream and preserves). I am sure my husband will be happy I found and subscribed to your channel. Happy cooking and all the best.

    I learned how to make "Tattie Scones" when I was a young boy, I'm 68 now, my father would take leftover cold mashed tatties, which were a rarity with three growing boys, and mix in some flour, roll it out until it was about 1/4" thick circle, then cut it into triangles, and dry griddle them. We would have them with butter, salt, and pepper, rolled up like a croissant, and sometimes with fried bacon. Next time I will try your method, and make mine thicker.
