Ingredients

• 2 large Raw potatoes
• 1 cup Mashed potatoes
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the raw potatoes and grate them finely using a box grater or food processor.

Step 2

Transfer the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, mashed potatoes, flour, milk, and salt. Mix until you have a thick, smooth batter.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and spread it out slightly to form a round shape.

Step 6

Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the pancake and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter and oil to the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve the boxty pancakes warm, on their own or with sour cream, smoked salmon, or other toppings of your choice. Enjoy!
