Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes cooled leftovers
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
Optional Add-Ins
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives for fresh flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes, all-purpose flour, salt, and melted butter. Mix until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
  2. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth but not tough.
  3. Roll the dough into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick, maintaining an even thickness.
  4. Slice the dough circle into four wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each farl for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. After flipping, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to achieve a golden color and slight crispness.
  7. Serve warm, optionally topped with butter, fried eggs, or smoked salmon.
