Boxty - Irish Potato Cakes

Boxty - Irish Potato Cakes

Ingredients

1 cup raw, grated potatoes
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup (about) milk to mix
Butter or oil for frying

Directions

Place the grated raw potatoes in a clean cloth and twist to remove excess moisture. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine the flour mixture with the raw potatoes, the leftover mashed potatoes, and the eggs. Add enough mix to make a batter. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Drop potato batter by the tablespoon into the hot pan. Brown on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Butter each Boxty and serve hot with or without sugar.

We can only recommend these to any potential customer. Quality of the produce is extremely high and the variety fantastic. I’ve had squashes I did not know existed and the flavour of the carrots and cabbages unbeatable.
