An easy, quick, inexpensive recipe for students and people who can't cook (like myself). Ingredients: ----------- 1 cup mashed potato Half cup of white flour 1 tbsp butter Salt Instructions: ------------ Boil up some potatoes and mash. Melt the butter and together with some salt mix it in with the mashed potatoes. Add the flour and knead for a minute or so. Roll the mixture on a floured board into a circle shape. Cut the circle into 4 quarters (farls) and fry up until the sides turn a dappled brown. Taking into the account the boiling time for the potatoes the whole recipe takes 30 minutes. Enjoy (the calories)!
Breakfast, lunch, dinner....as far as I'm concerned it will work for them all. My question is, would you really need to have meat or another vegie with it?
Yes they seem quite versatile. They are part of a traditional breakfast (think sausages, bacon, eggs) in Northern Ireland I think. The reason I made these is that my Swedish class is having a food party on Friday. Everyone must bring something from their homeland
Another side idea that my hubby uses: instead of the flour, he mixes an egg into the mashed potatoes and fries them up flat.
We call them potato scones here in Scotland but your recipe is exactly the same as the one I make my 'scones' with Frank. We have them with bacon, egg, sausage, blackpudding, dumpling, mushrooms and beans. :-D
We here in this part of Texas call them potato fritters and add 1 egg, Flour and chopped onions.with the potatos then fry them the same way.
Food parties yeah Nice - I would probably add herbs and spices for extra flavour - I am thinking rosemary and olive as seasonign.
