|
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)!

Mmm, I like fried potatoes. Wonder if this might serve as a potato variation for dinner?

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?

Probably not, Toni. It sounds very good on it's own.

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.
