Boxty

Step by stepInstructions

1. Peel and quarter half the potatoes; boil in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain and mash well. Let cool slightly.
2. Peel and finely grate the remaining raw potatoes; squeeze out the excess liquid with a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk, egg, mashed potato, grated potato, and chives to form a thick batter.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little butter or bacon fat. Drop in spoonfuls of batter, flattening them into 3-inch pancakes.
5. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side, adding more fat as needed. Keep warm while cooking the rest.
6. Serve hot with butter, sour cream, or a fried egg.
