Boxty image

Boxty is the traditional Irish fare for Shrove Tuesday. Composed of grated raw potatoes, mashed cooked potatoes, with flour added as a binding agent, Boxty is either fried in a pan or browned on a griddle. It is mentioned in a traditional children's Irish jingle "Three pans of boxty, baking all the day. What use is boxty without a cup of tay?"

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups potatoes, peeled, grated (about 1 kg)
1 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Squeeze grated potatoes as dry as possible in a tea towel.
  • In a bowl, combine the potatoes, flour, and salt. Stir in the milk gradually, using enough to make the mixture hold to together.
  • Let the mixture stand 1 hour.
  • Heat a 23cm - 25cm heavy frying pan until very hot. Drop in the butter and let it melt. Pat the potato mixture into the pan with a spatula, distributing it evenly.
  • Cook over medium heat until the underside is set and golden brown.
  • Slide the pancake onto a plate and invert it back into the pan.
  • Let the other side brown.
  • Serve the pancake straight from the pan with brown sugar and melted butter.
