Boxty are traditional potato pancakes that are particularly loved in the Northern counties. They can be served as a potato side dish rather than mashed or boiled potatoes or as part of anIrish Breakfast. This is my husband Isaac's take on boxty, he uses cream and not too much flour so they're good and rich.
Ingredients
Serves 4
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the egg with the cream. Add the potato and flour, season with salt and pepper, and stir to mix. The mixture will be slightly runny.
Step 2
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the potato mixture and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, until the surface is golden brown and the potato is cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and cut into wedges to serve.

Back to TopI love all things Irish. Can't wait to try this. I was thinking about topping it with jalapeno aioli sauce, or some kind of salsa.
