Irish potato bread
Potato bread is a very famous dish in Northern Ireland, but the version we were served was far from ideal. I got an original recipe from Paula McIntyre and made my own batch. Delicious! Eat it hot with butter.
Ingredients
- 500 grams floury potatoes
- 200 grams all purpose flour
- little bit of sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- The official way is to boil the potatoes in their skins, then remove the skins and press the potatoes through a press or sieve. Of course, you can also use a potato masher, but make sure it's smooth. Not too many lumps.
- Add the flour, sugar and salt and mix until combined. This is easiest if you pour it on a floured surface. Knead briefly. No more than about 30 seconds.
- Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it to about 6 inches in diameter. Cut it into 8 slices (wedges).
- Heat a frying pan with butter and fry the potato wedges until cooked and golden brown. Serve immediately with butter!
