FADGE - IRISH POTATO BREAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 400 F/205 C/Gas 6. Place the mashed potato in a large baking bowl and add all the other ingredients. Mix the ingredients together to create a light, but sticky dough.
• Heavily flour your work surface of the board, if you don't use enough flour the dough will stick to the board.
• Roll out the dough to approximately ½ inch/1 centimeter thickness.
• Cut the dough into saucer-sized rounds. Score each round with a cross to mark 4 equal wedges. You can also make individual cakes by cutting with a round biscuit or scone cutter, the size you wish them to be.
• Grease a baking sheet with lots of butter. Carefully lay the rounds onto the sheet (they will be quite soft so you will need to handle carefully; a spatula helps).
• Bake the rounds in the center of the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and risen. Once cooked lay onto a cooling rack and allow to cool slightly. These delicious rounds need to be eaten while they are freshly cooked and warm.

IRISH FADGE (POTATO CAKES)

Steps:

• Mash the potatoes (make sure there are no lumps).
• Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the butter.
• Knead in enough flour to make a pliable dough (usually 3/4 cup is enough).
• Roll out to about 1/2" thick and cut into round patties about 4"across.
• Heat a non stick skillet and brown on each side 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve with butter (you can sprinkle them with sugar if you are serving them as a treat).
• NB: These are very tasty fried in bacon grease and served with breakfast.
