Irish Potato Bread Farls, also known as potato cakes or potato farls, is a traditional Northern Irish bread that is simple and delicious. Made from mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and butter, these farls are a staple of the Irish breakfast, often served alongside sausages, bacon, eggs, and tomatoes.

The dough is mixed until it forms a pliable texture, then rolled out into a circle and divided into quarters or “farls.” These are then cooked on a griddle or frying pan until golden brown. The exterior is slightly crispy, while the inside remains soft and fluffy, with a comforting potato flavor that pairs well with sweet and savory toppings.

Potato bread farls are deeply rooted in Irish culinary tradition, offering a hearty and satisfying meal component, particularly in the morning. They are also popular during economic hardship, as potatoes are a cost-effective ingredient. Beyond breakfast, potato farls can be enjoyed as a snack, often buttered or topped with jam or cheese.

Their versatility and delicious taste have made potato bread farls a beloved food in Ireland and worldwide, wherever Irish cuisine is cherished.
