M&S Mark Moriarty Boxty Recipe

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor, while frozen hash browns save prep time.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, while margarine is often less expensive.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water can be used for a lighter batter.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often more affordable.

Peel and grate Maris Piper potatoes to remove excess water.

Add a little bit of mashed Maris Piper potatoes, flour, egg yolk, and a handful of salt to the grated potatoes.

Mix the ingredients until combined, ensuring the mixture is as dry as possible.

Heat a pan over low heat.

Form the potato mixture into cakes and place them in the pan.

Cook the cakes for about five minutes on each side until they are nicely golden brown and soft throughout.

To serve, top the boxty with mustard mayo, a poached egg, and crispy pulled ham hock.

Garnish with chives and optionally add dressed cherry tomatoes for a vegetarian option.
