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

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb freshly cooked potato
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (margarine)
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.

I am not from Ireland, but these are good. Different, but good. Thanks for this recipe!

Horrible. Wound up with a goopy slop that was hard to handle and completely disgusting to eat. Had to add double the amount of flour recommended and even then it was nearly impossible to roll out into patties.

Delicious, easy to make. I love potatoes and this a great one to add to my collection. I used bacon grease to fry the cakes and served them with a side order of crispy bacon bits and a dollop of sour cream. Yum.

This is truly "Ulster", where my mother's family is from. I use left-over mashed potatoes and "bake" them on a griddle until browned on both sides on low heat. Cool and store overnight for the next morning or so, fry them up in the bacon/sausage grease with any kind of runny egg. Freezes well. I always keep plenty in the freezer.
