Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Peel, boil, and mash 1 pound of whole russet potatoes if needed. Otherwise, mash the canned potatoes or simply measure out the two cups needed from leftover mashed potatoes.
  2. Add the mashed potato to a large bowl with the melted vegan butter and salt before blending everything together with a fork.
  3. Add the gluten-free flour to the mashed potato and use your hands to work the dough until smooth and combined (add any other flavorings or add-ins during this step).
  4. Liberally flour a flat surface before placing about 1/4 of the dough on the surface and rolling it out to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
  5. Use a medium-sized round soup bowl to cut out a circle of the rolled dough and remove the excess dough, setting it aside for re-rolling more portions.
  6. Use a sharp knife toย cut the circle of potato dough into 4 triangles (farls). Repeat this process for 3-5 more portions depending on the size of your circles.
  7. Grease aย large pan or griddle and heat it on the stove over medium-high heat before adding a batch of potato farls.
  8. Cookย the potato farls onย each side for 4-5 minutesย until golden brown.
  9. Serve the potato farls right away with toppings of choice or allow them to cool and a wire rack to store for later.

Notes

  • If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes or do not have canned potatoes you can mash, simply peel, boil, and mash russet potatoes with a potato masher or potato ricer.
  • Store Leftovers: Let the potato farls cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • Freeze Leftovers: You can freeze the potato farls in a freezer-safe bag with all the air taken out for up to 6 months for best quality.
  • Reheating: You can reheat leftovers by tossing them back in a skillet and allowing them to get crispy again over medium-high heat or lay them on a baking sheet and war, them up in the oven.
