Irish Boxty Potato Pancakes for an Easy and Cozy Breakfast

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked potatoes

  mashed
• 1 1/2 cups shredded raw potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon buttermilk
• Butter for frying

  about 2 tablespoons
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Toss grated potatoes with flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Then mix in
  the mashed potatoes,
• 2 Whisk the egg and buttermilk together and then mix into the potatoes. Be careful
  not to overmix the batter, which can make the potatoes tough. Add additional
  buttermilk if needed, but the mixture will be a thick batter.
• 3 Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once
  melted, scoop batter and shape it into a round pancake circle about 2 inches in
  diameter. Fry until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and continue to
  cook until both sides are golden and evenly cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• 4 Serve garnished with sliced scallions, crème fraîche, or even Irish honey, if
  you can find it.
