IRISH BOXTY (CRISPY FRIED POTATO CAKES)



Irish Boxty (Crispy Fried Potato Cakes) image

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...
