Irish Boxty

Well, I recently found a recipe for Irish Boxty on the web and since I posted a recipe for Champ earlier, both of which are potato-based, I decided it needed to be pirated and posted here as well.  This recipe is similar to the one I have for Fadge, which I will post later and either one is delicious, but I love the crispy outside and warm, soft texture of the inside of these wonderful cakes.  So whether you try Boxty or wait for the recipe for Fadge, I hope you enjoy.

Irish Boxty


Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups grated raw potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon skim milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
Directions
  1. Toss the grated potatoes with flour in a large bowl. Stir in mashed potatoes until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and skim milk; mix into the potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  4. Drop in the potato mixture, forming patties about 2 inches in diameter.
  5. Fry on both sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  6. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.
