Ingredients

• 2 lbs potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

3. 3

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth and let cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with flour, salt, baking powder, chopped green onions, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape each portion into a flat disc, about 1/2 inch thick.

6. 6

   Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook one potato disc for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining discs, adding more butter as needed. Keep the cooked farls warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

8. 8

   Serve warm with sour cream on the side for dipping.
