Step 1
Boil potatoes whole, skin-on, in salted water until a fork slides through the center, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, toss cabbage with vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let sit; stir once.
Step 3
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and grate into a bowl. Fold in flour, salt, and pepper until it holds together.
Step 4
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming. Press grated potato into 4-inch patties and slide into the pan.
Step 5
Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and edges crisp. Work in batches if needed.
Step 6
Serve hot farl alongside pickled cabbage slaw. Finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and cracked black pepper.
