Pan-Fried Irish Potato Bread
by Doreen Düe | Food blogger with camper van
A new recipe for the pan: Irish flatbread with a large potato and a small flour portion. You really only need 4 ingredients for Irish potato bread, it's really quick to make and wonderfully versatile. Best of all, you don't need an oven for it, just your frying pan!
First a confession: I don't associate this bread with a romantic idea of a holiday in Ireland. Although it did exist 15 years ago. On a boat along the river Shannon through Ireland. It was a dream! But I never got to know this potato bread. Could have something to do with the fact that I was not yet a foodie. It would be very different today...
Perfect for camping kitchens!
Why I absolutely had to bake it very quickly:
- Because I like Ireland very much. Galicia, where we go every summer, is like Ireland, only further south.
- I like potatoes in bread just as much. You can find the recipe for my juicy potato bread in the book "Baking Bread with the Omnia".
- Traditionally, Irish potato bread is baked in a pan! So it's perfect for your camping kitchen without an oven!
What makes a good recipe for me:
- When it works without problems the first time.
- When I am visually satisfied with the result.
- When the "taster" can hardly stop himself from grabbing a piece immediately BEFORE I have taken photos of it!
- When the "taster" munches the first potato bread full of joyful expectations. Nods. And then asks, "Can I have another piece?"
At the latest then I know: you HAVE to get to know this recipe!
The potato bread tastes good both warm and cold. But it can also be easily baked in the pan.
