Directions
- Install the warming rack and place a Napoleon Pizza Stone in the center of the grill. Preheat the grill to 400°F by lighting the two outside burners.
- Scrub the potatoes and place them on the warming rack. Bake the potatoes for about an hour, or until a fork easily pierces them.
- Remove the potatoes from the grill. Slice them in half and scoop out the insides into a bowl. Keep the skins.
- In the bowl, mash the potato with the butter and salt (feel free to add pepper and garlic if you wish). Add the flour, a little at a time. Your goal is to have a slightly sticky dough that resembles play-doh. You may need to add more or less flour to get the right consistency.
- Flour your work surface and grab a baseball-sized handful of potato dough. Use a rolling pin to roll it out to ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out rounds (or make a couple giant Irish Quesadillas) placing them onto parchment paper.
- Place the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone and bake for about 5 minutes. While the potato farls are baking, fill the potato skins with layers of corned beef, mayo, and cheese.
- Bring the potato skins to the grill and place them onto the warming rack. Flip the potato farls and continue baking for another 3 to 5 minutes or until the other side is beginning to brown.
- Now that they’re browned, spread a little mayo on each potato farl round. Layer a little cheddar, meat, and more cheddar. Finally place another farl round on top. Close the lid of the grill for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the potato skins and Irish Quesadillas together.
