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 an Irish 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:
1 egg |
1/4 cup (50ml) light (single) cream |
9 ounces (250g) baking or russet (floury) potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated |
2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose (plain) flour |
salt and freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons (25g) butter |
Directions:
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.
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.
