Peel, then quarter potatoes, boil for 15 mins until easily pierced with a fork. Drain and cool under running cold water. Allow to go cold. This recipe is also perfect for using leftover potatoes.
Mash the soft spuds with a fork or masher.
Add half the flour to the potato mix and spread the rest onto a work space.
Mix the flour along with the potatoes, butter (if using), salt (and seasoning of choice, see notes) until you have a dough. Make balls from the dough. Use plenty of seasoning!
Press the balls flat into the flour on the workspace. They should be 1-2 cm thick. Don't be afraid to add more flour if needed to stop them sticking.
Put a pan on medium heat, NO oil, then add the potato farls, (make sure each side is covered lightly with flour before putting into the pan).
Cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes, until nicely browned.
Serve with a little extra salt.
Optional as a fry up:
Slice the tomatoes in half.
Add some olive oil to a pan on medium-high heat.
Add the tomatoes, then crack in the eggs to one side. Cook with a lid (if available) to speed up the frying process.
After a couple of minutes, flip the tomatoes. Another minute or so and the eggs will be ready and tomatoes will be nicely browned . Enjoy!
