Traditional Irish Boxty

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups grated raw potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon skim milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions:

1. Prepare the potato mixture: In a large bowl, toss the grated raw potatoes with flour until evenly coated. Stir in the mashed potatoes until well combined.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour this mixture into the potato mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cook the Boxty: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, forming patties about 2 inches in diameter.
4. Fry to perfection: Cook each Boxty for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Serve and enjoy: Boxty is best enjoyed warm, either on its own or with a variety of toppings like sour cream, smoked salmon, or butter.

Tips for the Perfect Boxty:

• Be sure to squeeze excess moisture out of the grated potatoes before mixing to ensure a crispier texture.
• If you prefer a richer taste, you can substitute buttermilk for skim milk.
• For a savory twist, add chopped chives, garlic, or shredded cheese to the batter.
