Step 1
Chop potatoes into 1-inch cubes, boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain well.
Step 2
Mash potatoes until smooth. Stir in flour, 2 tbsp butter, cheese, and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a 6-inch disk on parchment, then cut each into 4 wedges.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Fry farls in two batches, 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate, top with remaining 1 tbsp butter. Serve hot with extra cheese or sour cream if desired.
