Method
Prep: 28 mins. Cook: 47 mins. Chill: 30 mins.
Start by preparing your potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cut so they are all as even in size as possible.
Boil the potatoes in a pan of salted water till tender. Drain and pass through a ricer for a smooth potato mixture.
Once completely cooled, add the salt, pepper, plain flour, baking powder and spring onions. Mix well, divide into four equal balls and set aside.
For the filling, take the drained baked beans and mix with the Cheddar and chilli flakes.
Now take each mound and flatten in the palm of your hands. If the mix is sticking, dunk your hand in cold water.
Add a quarter of the mixture to a potato mound and envelop the bean mix in the potato, so it is completely encased. Flatten in the palm of your hands. Do the same to the other three. Pop into the fridge for 30 minutes.
To cook these, add butter to a pan with the farls and gently cook for 7–8 minutes on each side, till golden and delicious and warm all the way through.
For the sauce, mix the bean juice with the chilli sauce, ketchup and mayonnaise and serve as a dip on the side.
TIP: These freeze really well so if you have any left over, freeze for a quick lunch or brunch emergency.
