Potato Farls, Fior di Latte & Mushroom
Potato Farl is a type of bread made from mashed potatoes, and in this recipe, we treat traditional potato farls as a pizza-like base, topping them with hazelnuts, fior di latte (or fresh mozzarella), mushrooms, and honey. The result is a delicious flatbread with a crispy texture and soft interior. Perfect for breakfasts and brunches, or as a side for lunch and dinner! Paris mushrooms also work perfectly for this recipe, they can be sliced with a mandoline or finely grated.
