The word farl originates from the Gaelic word fardel meaning four parts. These were delicious! Rating: 5 stars
I followed the PR's suggestion and doubled the butter and flour...mmmm...betcha can't eat just one!
4 of 5 The dough will be sticky. Thanks Ita for the perfect Farls recipe! Caroline C The dryer the potato - the lesser the amount of flour.
12 Step 4 27.6mg We had these with the Ulster Fry-Up, and although I had told myself beforehand that I'd have only one wedge, I ate so many that I'd hate to admit to the actual count. Also Soda Farls because you can't get either here, lol. I was raised on these but we just called them potato pancakes because my Mom and Grandmother made them into individual cakes. I can't say I liked them. If you ask some of the older generations that made these for an Ulster Fry, they will tell you that you can't always count on the exact same measurements. Call These Your Weeknight Warriors. Plenty of Garlic... and yum onion! 9

Step 1 These were delicious! Even though I grew up in the mid-west region of Ireland, I grew up knowing them to be farls. Thanks Ita for the perfect Farls recipe! Enjoy. Yummy! I usually make boxty for our StP's dinner but I saw these and thought I'd give them a trial run. This is a family favorite for us. I notice a lot of people saying they needed to double the flour - I find that it depends on the water content of the potatoes.
Rating: 5 stars Once you get to know what the dough for either should look and feel like, you just make your adjustments with the ingredients. it is very important to let the potatoes dry on a warm stove. I added a little onion powder to the dough mixture - this was a BIG help!
If you don't dry out your potato, it will be too mushy with the flour.
