Irish Boxty

Cultural Context

Originating from the rural kitchens of Ireland, boxty is a traditional potato dish that reflects the importance of potatoes in Irish cuisine.

1

Boil 2 russet potatoes cut into small pieces for 15 minutes until soft.

2

Grate enough russet potatoes to yield 1.5 cups and soak in cold water to prevent browning.

3

Rinse grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch and squeeze out moisture with a paper towel.

4

Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl until smooth.

5

In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, grated potatoes, 2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.

6

Add 1 cup of buttermilk to the mixture and stir until a thick pancake batter forms, adjusting with more buttermilk if necessary.

7

Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

8

Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter into the pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

9

Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

10

Serve hot topped with a generous dollop of sour cream and garnish with chopped chives.
