Ingredients

• 1 lb potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chives
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.

2. 2

   Bring the pot of potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, mash the potatoes in a bowl until smooth.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

5. 5

   Add the mashed potatoes to the flour mixture, and mix until a dough forms. If using, fold in the chopped chives.

6. 6

   Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round disc, about ½ inch thick.

7. 7

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

8. 8

   Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the potato farls to the skillet, cooking them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

9. 9

   Remove the cooked farls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

10. 10

    Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra chives or a dollop of sour cream.
