Full breakfast

The Ulster fry Northern Ireland's version of the cooked breakfast earns its own entry because of the bread. Alongside the sausages, bacon, eggs, tomato and black pudding come soda farls and potato bread, both fried in the pan until crisp and golden. Potato farls are a griddle bread of cooked potato, flour and buttermilk, so they are also the best possible use for last night's leftover mashed potatoes. If you only fry one extra thing this weekend, make it a potato farl.
