Irish Fadge (Potato Cakes)

This is a true "Ulster" recipe. Very easy to make and so many different uses.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb  freshly cooked potato
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

• 3⁄4-1  cup flour

Directions

1. Mash the potatoes (make sure there are no lumps).
2. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the butter.
3. Knead in enough flour to make a pliable dough (usually 3/4 cup is enough).
4. Roll out to about 1/2" thick and cut into round patties about 4"across.
5. Heat a non stick skillet and brown on each side 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Serve with butter (you can sprinkle them with sugar if you are serving them as a treat).
7. NB: These are very tasty fried in bacon grease and served with breakfast.
