Freshly baked Scottish potato farl

Farl - Scottish Potato Bread

Farl is a traditional Scottish potato bread cooked in a skillet, eliminating the need for an oven. It originated in the Scottish countryside, where simple ingredients were used for bread making. The potatoes make it light and soft, while pan-frying gives it a slightly crispy exterior. Farl is often part of a traditional Scottish breakfast and is served with butter or savory toppings. This easy-to-make and nutritious bread remains popular in Scotland and the United Kingdom.
