Description

Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake usually served with breakfast.

Ingredients

1 cup mashed potatoes 1 cup peeled and grated raw potatoes 1½ cups AP flour 1 cup buttermilk (Or whole milk) 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon Kosher salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

In a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder and salt and pepper set aside. Using a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the grated raw potato, then add the flour and mix well. Slowly add the buttermilk and stir gently (do not over mix). The mixture should be like a thick batter and should come together, add additional buttermilk if needed. On medium heat using a nonstick frying pan add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan, When oil is heated add the 1 tablespoon of butter and allow to melt. Add the desired amount of batter (How big or small of a pancake you want) to the frying pan and flatten out into a pancake shape. Fry until golden brown (About 5 minutes) turn over and fry the other side until golden brown.
