Fadge

Níl aon tintéan mar do thintéan féin.

Our next Irish dish is fadge or better known as potato cakes.
Irish Fadge

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).

There's no place like home.
