Irish Potato Farls

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Home cooking foodie here, I have discovered these and learnt to make them. I have tried adding herbs to the mix, Italian parsley, mint or oregano. Also shredded cheddar cheese and they came out wonderful. Next time, will try different toppings, mushrooms, tomatoes, basil a la pizza style and cook it in the oven.

[@sjhlion]

I loved the extra information about why you cut the cross and into quarters.

[@there4im839]

Dead easy. And I so love your accent. My mum, nanny and papa (rest his soul) were from Newtownards Rd. Belfast

[@sarahsmith7795]

I made these tonight, turned out so delicious. I'll be having an Ulster fry up in the morning.

[@bellainthebayou]

Thank you for sharing this. My mother used to make them. She learned them from her mother who would spend Wednesday's making them for the Thursday Fry where they'd be warmed in the pan with all of the bacon and sausage drippings. There's nothing quite like an Ulster Fry. Oh the memories, the smells, the lovely accents.

[@Anne231154]

I agree about butter. My mother started buying margarine when I was at school, so I went and bought my own butter. There is no substitute. Good man, many thanks.

[@deanjones924]

I've seen the recipe for this but never thought about doing this. Now that I have a surplus of mashed potatoes I'm going to try this, thanks for the recipe.

[@kathleenmcspadden1083]

I grew up with what we always called potato bread. My Dad is from Newcastle, NI so we always cooked them in a dry pan but my Mum from Scotland grew up with cooking them with butter. The dry pan won.

[@melogardener]

My other is from Belfast and taught me to make these for our Belfast fry. I first tasted these wonderful potato cake in Belfast in a Belfast fry...never forgot them and made them when we came back home. Belfast fry has broiled sweetened tomato halves, pink sausage rounds, sausage, bacon, Canadian Ham or Irish (too salty) and these wonderful potato farls or potato cakes with fried eggs and HP sauce of course....mmmm with a nice cuppa tea.

[@jacquelineplunkett4055]

melogardener don't know what kind of fry you had but we dont have most of what you described there,certainly nothing like the fry i have almost every few weeks.

[@jacquelineplunkett4055]

melogardener also never heard it called a belfast fry , has always been an ulster fry.

In lockdown in Wales, but my cooking skills have increased no end. Potato farls are something I love but you can't get over here, so I've been experimenting. Mixed results so far, but am redetermined after watching this! Great video.

[@kjn6505]

Hey John, im sure your local Morrisons will stock them if you have one near you. My Morrisons does in Yorkshire, so i reckon you might find some at yours too.

[@johngough2958]

@@kjn6505 Had a go at making them myself following yer wee mon's method - first results were better than anything else I've tried so far!

[@YTDumpsterBaby]

Can confirm, Scottish here and we love these too. Without the cross cutting them into four you will need an exorcist. Potato demons are the worst.

[@vargohoat9950]

can confirm, harvested some potatoes on rlcraft and some demon appeared and killed me

[@FlyingFish747]

Away ye evilness hiding in thy potatoes! Looks excellent, thanks. Especially helpful to know the thickness, thanks for putting the pencil there for comparison. I'm definitely going to try making these.

[@VideosofIrishFarmingLife]

You'res look really good! Thanks for sharing with us..

[@sophvidz2406]

We have made these a few times now !!! Love them 😋😋😋

[@mgtowp.l.7756]

A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing..

[@chichi6796]

Looks like potato pancakes in a different shape. Anyway you slice 'em potato pancakes are delish. I'll def give your 'farls' a try.

[@WriteSoul]

Ooooh I can't wait to make these TODAY!!. I used to work in a restaurant making many Ulster Fries for 6 years in 1995-2001. We used to buy in the potato farls and soda bread. I am sure your recipe is going to be much nicer.

[@DominicMagliocco]

Let me know how you get on :)

[@WriteSoul]

they came out great, just didn't make enough for my hungry lot :-) Looking forward to seeing more of your nice recipes.

[@DominicMagliocco]

Well done :)

[@kevino601]

You know you’re Irish when you’re passionate about “real butter” and not that oul spread.

[@gaggymott9159]

I hear the (Northern) Irish accent!!!!! Your recipe is EXACTLY the same as my Aunt used to make..... Mo Chara! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@whoisme678]

Nice with dried rosemary sprinkled into the spuds, then into the pan.

[@TheNails3]

Wonderful video 😊👍

[@K2shadowfax]

As kids, we could smell potato cakes being 'cooked' from miles away; served 'hot' off the stove, with lashings of cold butter, and a mugeen o' tea; it was also the quickest way to get us all up on a cold and frosty morning! lol

[@michaelconway1423]

good job, must make my own soda and potato farls for my fry ups. i think maybe people have got lazy and just buy them. cant wait to try my own instead

[@Dre3ed]

Hahahha you cracked me up bay loved that

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Great tutorial! But the whole time I was watching: Someone give this man a tissue! :D

[@DominicMagliocco]

Why

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

@@DominicMagliocco You couldn't hear the poor man sniffing all the way through this? LOL. Everybody does it but when you watch yourself on film you realise how disgusting and distracting it is. Like when girls on KZbin constantly fiddle with their hair :)

[@DominicMagliocco]

I wasn't sniffing. I have one lung.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

@@DominicMagliocco WOW! Then definitely consider putting some text on the screen to explain and people would be far more likely to understand instead of feeling natural irritation. I bet if you did a bit of editing and re-titled this video as "Man with One Lung Makes Delicious Authentic Irish Farl' and reuploaded it right at the start of the pandemic it would have gone viral...pardon the pun. I wish you would have-- it's actually the best tutorial for this on the internet. I hope you're doing well, I'm sure you've been terrified at times during the past few months. This video needs to be re-discovered with a little nod to the source of the "sniffing". Take care, hope you'll make more videos. :)

[@tinam02]

You are too sensitive. I didn't have a problem at all. Bravo and well done Domenico.

[@mordenwndowcleaners5948]

nio idea why i buy these when they are so easy to make great video

[@ВалариПетровский]

Nice with bacon & eggs yum and fried in ghee yay.

[@rajendersharma1334]

Fried in ghee makes them 'aloo' (potato) paratha in north India.

[@hotoneinspai]

Love the accent..makes me homesick

[@Anne231154]

I love these with bacon egg and white pudding, or just refried with some grated cheese on top.

[@chloebartlett3428]

Genius!

[@24hoursfood]

Goooooood naes

[@sdh8286]

Oul fake spready stuffs made me laugh out loud - keep sniffing lol

[@greenguard59]

Thank you a'l give a try.

[@monsignorfitzful]

good vid fella

[@dtcov]

What about scratching the work surface with knife

[@MindbodyMedic]

followed a guardian recipe that uses half as much flour as this and wondered why I ended up with a disaster. it was using leftover mash that was full of butter so it was tasty enough

[@brodemonz]

Thank you :)

[@julianamu1]

Put the cross on it to remove any evil spirits. 😂🤣😂

[@NorthernSolesCrew]

Just bung it on top. :) Get it inteye big lawd! ;)

[@bletheringfool]

I'm sitting here with a cup of tea eating toasted potato bread farls. Mine are from Irwins and come in twos (no cross!) what is the protocol for potato spirits?

[@DominicMagliocco]

Real butter only and a little salt.

[@0000000Lara]

is that same as Scottish potato scones?

[@Atoasterinthedesert]

hi there! thanks for the vid! from chicago usa. what do you put in the pan to cook it?

[@DominicMagliocco]

+aleza dechanel At this stage you use only heat to cook. Later you can fry them in a little butter and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

[@DominicMagliocco]

nothing

[@thenextshenanigantownandth4393]

So it's basically Box T?

[@elvinmay54]

what type of flour did you use

[@cavl894]

Do the mash potatoes have to be cooked first?

[@bremcartan3586]

yes and leave them to go cold

[@rosaleennoade9713]

Sniffing out me off

[@DominicMagliocco]

use just plain general purpose white flour

[@GaryMcCaffrey]

*sniff*

[@vargohoat9950]

id add way more oil and heat that to almost max then fry the shit out of them in a few mins per side

[@Martyn4444]

No Baking Powder????

[@DominicMagliocco]

not in potato farls

good on you Dom bye the bye some of yer own ended up in canada no surrender. sinclair kelly.

[@DominicMagliocco]

I'm sure you don't realize it but "no surrender" is a very offensive term to some parts of the community here in Northern Ireland. It's a sectarian chant. Anyway, glad to hear you enjoyed the potato farls :)

Away, none of your Scottish nonsense here! LOL :0)

Actually i'm rarely annoyed but sniffling while handling food really is annoying. blow your nose before you start.
