A wonderful alternative to the traditional breakfast
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas mark 5.
Place black pudding on wire on baking tray and cook for
15-20minutes, turning once.
Meanwhile, mash the potatoes carefully ensuring there are no
lumps and add salt.
Using some of the flour dredge your work surface and knead in
just enough flour to bind the potatoes together - too much flour
will toughen them.
Divide the mixture into 4 and roll each piece into a rough
circular shape about 5mm thick. Cut each circle into 4 giving a
triangular shape to each farl.
Cook on a griddle or frying pan ( no oil is needed) for 8-10
minutes, turning once. They will have a brown patchy
appearance.
When ready spread a little butter on top (optional) and cool on
a clean dry cloth.
Dry fry bacon in a non stick pan until cooked, remove and keep
warm.
In a separate pan fry eggs with a little oil until cooked.
Add the potato farls to the pan in which the bacon has been
cooked on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes, turning once.
The farls will absorb the delicious flavours of the cooked
bacon.
Finally, remove the black pudding from the oven and plate along
with bacon, eggs and potato farls.
Serve.
Gaynor's Tip: You can easily make the potato
farls in advance. They will stay fresh for a couple of days.
