Peel and cut the potatoes into halves or quarters. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and let cool slightly.

Once cooled, mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps.

To the mashed potatoes, add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and divide it into two balls. Flatten each ball into a disc about ½ inch thick.

Using a knife, carefully cut each disc into quarters, creating a classic farl shape.

In a skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Place the farls in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm with butter or your favorite toppings.
