Potato bread was a staple food in Ireland and still is to this day! It’s the most delicious part of an Ulster Fry. Use a frying pan and an egg lifter – same as for soda bread. The best potatoes for potato bread are the floury ones!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 g) of mashed potatoes seasoned with salt, pepper and a good glug of milk
- ½ cup (60 g) of plain flour – I use soda bread flour and it’s perfect.
Mash your potatoes really well. Mix the flour and potatoes together. When the mixture is no longer sticky, the dough is ready. Flour a board and roll the dough out with a rolling pin. Cut into 4 farls (quarters). Cook each side for around 4 minutes until golden brown.
Spread some handmade butter liberally on one side and let it sizzle in the pan for 10 seconds. I love to eat these farls as they come off the griddle!
