Irish Potato Carrot Pancakes Recipes

TRADITIONAL IRISH BOXTY: THE BEST EVER POTATO PANCAKES, WITH A TWIST (IRISH POTATO PANCAKES)

Steps:

• In a small bowl, place the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the grated raw potato, then add the flour and mix well.
• Slowly add the buttermilk and stir gently (do not over mix).
• The mixture should be like a very firm, thick batter; almost like a dough, so add more buttermilk if needed (I just used 1 cup/8 oz).
• Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, and add a pat of butter, just before scooping out some of the boxty batter onto the pan.
• Flatten and shape into a nice, round pancake shape and fry until golden brown on the bottom.
• Turn and continue to cook until golden brown on top too, turning the heat down if they are browning too quickly (remember there are raw potatoes which need to cook).
• Continue to add a little butter and fry the boxty until all the batter is finished. Serve hot.

• Cook spoonfuls of the batter for 5-7 minutes per side until golden, crisp and cooked through.
• Place cooked pancakes on a sheetpan/roasting tray and place in a warm oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Serve warm with sides of your choice.
