Easy Boxty
A traditional Irish potato pancake, crispy outside and soft within — the classic rhyme sums up the ratio: half raw grated potato, half mashed, which gives boxty its distinctive texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the grated raw potato using a clean tea towel or your hands, this step matters more than any other for getting a properly crisp result.
Mix the squeezed potato with the mashed potato.
Stir in the flour and buttermilk until you have a thick, spoonable batter.
Pan-fry spoonfuls in a hot, lightly oiled pan until golden and crisp on both sides, about 4 minutes per side, pressing gently to flatten.
