Boxty ☘️

CHRIS’S BOXTY ☘️

Good afternoon folks! This is the video for the Boxty photo I posted yesterday. This is a type of potato pancake that originates in Northern Ireland and there’s a few different ways to make it all depending on what region you come from. Some areas use raw potato only so I may get a bit of stick here 😄

This was quite spontaneous and I was able to use up a few leftovers in the fridge.

Recipe

200g of boiled mashed potato (2 medium)
200g of raw grated potato (2 medium)
Pinch of salt & pepper
1 beaten egg
1-2 chopped spring onions (optional)
4 heaped tbsps of flour
1 heaped tsp of baking powder
Drop of Buttermilk or regular milk

*Note - If using buttermilk you can use 1 heaped tsp of baking powder or about 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Both are optional. It’s used to give them a little lift

Fry them in butter, oil or a bit of both on a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes. The combination of oil and butter actually stops them from browning too quick. Mine were grand though. These go great with a fry! Well they go great with anything really so get cracking


Have a go and let me know how you get on!
