Traditional Irish Boxty - the tasty rustic Irish way to enjoy potatoes #boxty

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.

Grate the raw potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine grated raw potatoes, cold mashed potatoes, plain flour, baking powder, and salt/pepper.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and melted butter (or alternative).

Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, forming pancakes about 1/2 inch thick.

Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and repeat with remaining batter.
