FANTASTIC FADGE

Serves 6

Difficulty:Easy

Fadge is a delicious local potato bread recipe, traditionally made with left over potatoes and served warm as part of a traditional Ulster fry.

INGREDIENTS

500g cooked, mashed potatoes (ideally still warm) use a dry potato such as Maris piper, King Edward or Queens

60g butter

120g self-raising flour

Salt and Pepper to taste

METHOD

Place the warm, mashed potatoes into a large bowl and mash the butter into them.

Add the flour and seasoning into the potatoes and combine well with a round bladed knife.

Bring the mixture gently into a soft dough with your hands.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to no more than 1cm thick.

Cut the dough into 4 traditional farls, by cutting a cross into the centre of the dough.

Children will enjoy using novelty cookie cutters to create fun shapes with the potato bread.

Dust a non-stick frying pain or griddle with flour and cook the fadge over a medium heat for approximately 5 mins on each side until the fadge turns golden brown. Serve warm with butter.
