IRISH BOXTY (CRISPY FRIED POTATO CAKES)
We loved this Irish Boxty (aka potato cake) recipe! They are quick and easy to prepare and so tasty. Mixing mashed and grated potatoes adds a different texture. Onion adds a pop of flavor that we really liked. There is plenty of ingredients in these patties to hold them together while frying. This is a great recipe for a beginner...

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO GRIDDLE CAKES)
An old poem about this fried bread says: Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread. Best fried in baking drippings.

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO CAKES)
Boxty is traditionally served with butter on top while they're still hot, and sometimes they're dusted with a bit of powdered sugar. Although they're usually served as a side dish, a recent trend to satisfy snack cravings is to top Boxty with a favorite spread and roll them (much like a tortilla might be rolled), and eat them as...

Steps:
- 1. Place the grated raw potatoes in a clean cloth and twist to remove excess moisture.
- 2. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine flour mixture into raw potatoes, mashed potatoes, and eggs. Add any optional herb(s) that you wish to include. Add enough milk to make a thick batter.
- 3. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil to form a thin film over the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot, drop potato batter by the heaping tablespoon (about 2-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter) into the hot pan, and slightly flatten each round.
- 4. Do this in batches, drain on paper towels, and keep warm. (You may need to add more oil between batches.) Brown both sides of the potato pancake (about 4 minutes per side). Butter each boxty and serve hot with or without powdered sugar dusted on top.
- 5. Tips: Be sure potatoes are finely grated. If they're grated too thick, they won't cook through. Watch the heat level. They need to cook slowly enough that the inside will be fully cooked by the time the outside is browned. If it cooks too fast, the outside might be browned but the center might be "doughy". If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, you can substitute instant mashed potatoes.
