IRISH BOXTY

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop in the potato mixture, forming patties about 2 inches in diameter. Fry on both sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO GRIDDLE CAKES)

Steps:

• Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes.
• Add salt, pepper and flour.
• Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon.
• Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan.
• Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

BOXTY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot, drop into a bowl and mash immediately. Grate the raw potatoes, add to the mashed potatoes with the flour and sifted bread soda. Mix well, and add enough buttermilk to make a stiff batter.
• Heat a frying pan, grease with butter and cook large or small pancakes in the usual way. Eat them straight from the pan with butter, crispy rashers or pure Irish honey.
