Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Raw potatoes
- 1 cup Mashed potatoes
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the raw potatoes and grate them finely using a box grater or food processor.
Transfer the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, mashed potatoes, flour, milk, and salt. Mix until you have a thick, smooth batter.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and spread it out slightly to form a round shape.
Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the pancake and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter and oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the boxty pancakes warm, on their own or with sour cream, smoked salmon, or other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
