Eaten all year round, Boxty is a potato pancake which is tender on the inside while crispy on the outside.
Serves six.
- 1 ½ cups grated raw potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon skim milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
Toss grated potatoes with flour in a large bowl.
Stir in mashed potatoes until combined.
Whisk egg and milk together in a separate bowl; mix into the potatoes. Season.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop in potato mixture, forming patties about 5cm in diameter.
Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.
