Ingredients
- 450g Cooked potatoes, boiled
- Approx. 100g plain flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Approx. 25g butter for spreading (optional)
- 6 x Black pudding slices , approx. 140g each (I used Doreen Haigh’s)
- 12 rashers of bacon ( I used Dry Cured Saddleback)
- 6 Eggs
Introduction
A wonderful alternative to the traditional breakfastMethod
- Preheat oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas mark 5.
- Place black pudding on wire on baking tray and cook for 15-20minutes, turning once.
- Meanwhile, mash the potatoes carefully ensuring there are no lumps and add salt.
- Using some of the flour dredge your work surface and knead in just enough flour to bind the potatoes together - too much flour will toughen them.
- Divide the mixture into 4 and roll each piece into a rough circular shape about 5mm thick. Cut each circle into 4 giving a triangular shape to each farl.
- Cook on a griddle or frying pan ( no oil is needed) for 8-10 minutes, turning once. They will have a brown patchy appearance.
- When ready spread a little butter on top (optional) and cool on a clean dry cloth.
- Dry fry bacon in a non stick pan until cooked, remove and keep warm.
- In a separate pan fry eggs with a little oil until cooked.
- Add the potato farls to the pan in which the bacon has been cooked on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes, turning once. The farls will absorb the delicious flavours of the cooked bacon.
- Finally, remove the black pudding from the oven and plate along with bacon, eggs and potato farls.
- Serve.
Gaynor's Tip: You can easily make the potato farls in advance. They will stay fresh for a couple of days.
