I haven't had them in years my Granny was from Belfast, always made these and soda bread when we stayed overnight for breakfast next day!! Oh, and apple and rhubarb tart!!
I make these a lot for my husband. We call them potato cakes, some people call them “tater cakes”, potato pancakes, etc. My Mother, Aunt and Grandmother taught me. God Bless!
Life.my mum made them ,they were wonderful on a sun Evening.will try the recipe. Sounds great and simple. I'm 87 years from Tipperary.now in Canada.no one here has ever heard of them.thanks 😊
I come from Norn Iron and we bake the farls on the griddle a little, save them, and fry them later, but I know you know that because they are for sale in every bread shop in Ulster. I like your method and the self raising flour idea, I am guessing you could just add baking powder or baking soda ? if you don't have self raising.
I would guess Scottish then settlers from Scotland brought the recipe to Ulster that's why you get them in Northern Ireland and not really in the republic
I love the shop bought farl but there is something magic about homemade version, golden buttery crust develops on them and they have a different flavour in my experience. You could also use champ might be interesting. worth a go, very easy with leftover mash. I always use a ricer now after making Rubochon mash for Christmas one year :D
@@johncroweChef well I tried it and it turned out pretty well, it was a little hard to get the moisture levels right and had to grill it a little longer than usual but I think I prefer it. crispy, a little gooey, chewy and very tasty with abit of homemade butter 🤤😋
Thanks for the recipe
Beautifully done , will try ! Yum
ive got decent potato cakes in 6 counties, but the best ive got in ireland was in west cork, but thanks ooul stock they look good
Dublin born, raised with these. Although seem to recall my Dad using the left-over mash from a Sunday roast as the base. Always loved them.
Absolutely, great way to use leftovers. Thanks for the comment & supporting the channel. 👍
Brilliant video you would get up in the middle of the night to eat them. I make them and the kids love them

I’m happy you enjoy the video. By the way I’m originally from Tipperary also. 🙏
My daughter live in Ireland. When she comes home, I have to make this bread.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Your very welcome 🙏 I hope she enjoys it.
In northern India we have the 'aloo (potato) paratha' for breakfast made in exactly the same way, but we use 'ghee' (clarified butter) for frying.
That’s very interesting, thanks for sharing 🙏
In Scotland wee call it potato scone or in scottish tattie scone
A new one for me in Wexford. Great video. Irish gnocchi😂
Theres a new market ! It’s a sure fire winner 👍Happy cooking!

He said plain flour, not self raising.

Tattie cakes/scone, same as the Scottish make , exactly the same, so who made them first the Irish or the Scottish?
I would guess Scottish then settlers from Scotland brought the recipe to Ulster that's why you get them in Northern Ireland and not really in the republic

Some great points & observations. Happy cooking!
I love these, great video but I also add pepper with the salt
Sounds great!
Goes well with a full Scottish!
Indeed it does David 👍
Love the angle of the camera, easier to follow.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you I hope you try out the recipe. Happy cooking 🥘
They're common in The Republic.
Missed where the rapeseed oil went.
I usually see people fry these in just a little flour in the pan.
Again you still need some sort of cooking medium/fat/ oil to fry
Can I use wholemeal flour?
Not really appropriate for this recipe
