Boxty

Boxty, a traditional Irish potato pancake, is a versatile dish with roots in the rural Irish countryside. It's made from a combination of grated raw potatoes and mashed cooked potatoes, flour, and often buttermilk or milk, resulting in a unique texture that's crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Boxty can be served as a side dish, a snack, or as part of a larger breakfast.

Irish Potato Cakes - Ireland traditional dish

🧂 재료

1 lb Russet potatoes(about 450g, peeled and finely grated)
1 cup Mashed potatoes(about 200g, cold)
0.75 cup All-purpose flour(about 95g, plus more for dusting)
0.25 cup Milk or buttermilk(about 60ml)
1 tsp Baking soda
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper(freshly ground)
2 tbsp Unsalted butter(for frying)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Place the grated raw potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
💡 전문가 팁: This step is crucial for achieving a crispy exterior.
2
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed grated potatoes, cold mashed potatoes, flour, milk (or buttermilk), baking soda, salt, and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the mashed potatoes are cold to help the mixture hold together.
3
Mix until a cohesive dough forms. It should be thick but still slightly wet.
4
Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
5
Drop spoonfuls of the dough into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon to form thick pancakes (about 3-4 inches in diameter). Do not overcrowd the pan.
💡 전문가 팁: Work in batches if necessary.
6
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
7
Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
💡 전문가 팁: Boxty is best served immediately.
