  1. Surprised there’s no fat added throughout the whole recipe. It’s just flour, spuds, and salt.

    Is it self raising flour? The fact it rises a bit makes me think it might be.

  2. Cool recipe to learn! If she cut it bite-size and boil it she’d have gnocchi, I do it all the time 🙂

  3. This is how my mam taught me.

    My own recipe uses a lot more flour, self raising and rolled about 1.5cm thick.

    The farl rises in the pan so you can split it lengthwise and spread butter into the fluffy potato inside.

  4. She seems like a lovely Irish mammy, very soft spoken and polite. But take it handy or that spoon will be ’round the back of your head before you know it.

  5. I grew up on it and we always called it boxty, in Irish it’s arán bocht tí ..meaning poor house bread
