Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potato mixture to the skillet, pressing down to form a pancake shape.
3. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the farl is golden brown on the bottom. Flip the farl over, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
