The Potato Farl is a traditional Irish snack that originated from Northern Ireland. Known as potato cakes or tattie scones in Scotland and Northumberland, they are a popular breakfast or snack item. The potato farl has a unique taste and texture due to the combination of boiled potatoes and flour which creates a soft, yet crispy texture. Enjoyed on their own or with jam or butter, these are a tasty option for a quick breakfast or snack time. As an added benefit, it can be eaten on the go as well.
