Boxty

 

Boxty is super versatile and can go with any meal. Who doesn't love a potato pancake? They are perfect for breakfast with eggs or by them self with butter and syrup. I love to put sour cream and some chives on mine with a salad for lunch. Any white wine goes great with Boxty. Cheers to the potato!


2 cup all purpose flour

1  tsp. Baking powder

2 tsp. Salt

1 cup mashed potatoes

1 1/2 cups  peeled and grated raw potatoes


1 cup or more if needed buttermilk



 

Butter for griddle or heavy pan


In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.  Put aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, grated potatoes and flour.  Mix well.

Slowly add in the buttermilk to the mixture.  Do not over mix.

The mixture is firm, almost like a dough.  If too firm, add a little more buttermilk.

Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium high heat.

Add a pat of butter just before you scoop in some of the batter.  I use an ice cream scoop for this.

Flatten into a nice round pancake size.

Fry until golden brown and then flip.  Remember that there are raw potatoes in the mixture, so they need to cook. If they are browning too quickly, turn heat down to medium so they cook through but don’t burn.

Keep frying until the batter is gone.


Boxty can be served  with eggs, sour cream, butter or really anything you would put on a potato.
