We tried a lot of different recipes for Boxty (potato pancakes); we both grew up eating these. We settled on this version.
Irish Potato Boxty Cakes
1 C. mashed potatoes
1 C. raw potatoes, grated
2 eggs
1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 T. butter
salt & pepper
Place mashed potatoes in a bowl, add grated
raw potato and egg; mix well. Stir in flour
and baking soda; if mixture is too thick, stir
in milk until it forms a batter. Season with
salt & pepper. Melt butter in a skillet, drop
batter by spoonsful to form pancakes. Cook
approximately 2 minutes per side, depending on
their size. Serve with applesauce, sour cream,
fried bacon and eggs.
