St. Patrick's Day Boxty
Author: Angie | FiestaFriday.net
Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Irish
Yield: 10 (3-inch) pancakes
- 2 cups cooked and mashed potatoes
- 2 cups raw potatoes, shredded and squeezed dry
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Butter and/or cooking oil
- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until combined. You’ll get a stiff but spreadable batter.
- In a large frying pan, on medium high heat, add a little amount of butter or oil.
- Drop batter by the spoonfuls (about ¼ cup for 3-inch pancakes), flattening and spreading/shaping with a spatula as needed.
- Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 more minutes, or until pancakes are golden brown.
- Best served immediately while still warm.
- You can easily vary the ratios of the cooked/raw potatoes, flour, milk, and eggs, to suit your taste.
- Serve with your regular breakfast favorites such as bacon, sausages, or eggs. Or make it Irish-American by serving it with corned beef.
- If you make a thinner and bigger-sized boxty, you can treat it like a crepe, and put in any filling of your choice.
