Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and mash while hot with 2 tablespoons of the butter and the salt.
Work in the flour to form a soft dough, then turn out and pat into a round about 1/2 inch thick.
Cut the round into quarters to make the farls.
Melt the remaining butter with the oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the farls until golden and speckled, about 4 minutes per side.
