Boxty is different from other potato pancakes or latkes, and you’ll see that once you bite into one and notice the crispy hash brown-like outside and soft, dough-like inside.

What Is Boxty?

Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake, that gets its unique texture from the combination of mashed and shredded raw potatoes.

Fried in oil, these little potato pillows from heaven are perfectly crispy when you bite into them, but soft like a pancake on the inside. With the addition of buttermilk, flour and baking soda, they puff up slightly in the oil while getting a deep golden crust. Drooling yet?

How to Make Boxty

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups cold mashed potatoes
• 2 cups peeled and shredded potatoes
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 to 1-1/2 cups buttermilk
• Oil for frying

Tools You’ll Need

• Veggie peeler: You need to peel quite a few potatoes for this recipe. Make sure you have a good peeler on hand. This model is just $5 but our Test Kitchen swears by it.
• Box grater: A box grater is a necessity for any kind of potato pancake, including boxty.
• Tea towels: To press the water out of the potatoes, you’ll want thin kitchen towels at the ready.

Directions

Step 1: Prep the potatoes

Boxty has two types of potatoes: mashed and shredded. Make some mashed potatoes in advance. Boil the potatoes until soft and mash with a masher or potato ricer. No need to add any milk or butter here; that’ll come later.

Let the mashed potatoes cool completely.

Step 2: Shred and squeeze

Start by shredding your potatoes with a box grater just like you would for any other potato pancakes. Using a clean dish towel, squeeze out any excess liquid from shredded potatoes. This will help the batter hold together better and allow your boxty to crisp up better.

Step 3: Make the batter

In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Add the mashed and shredded potatoes to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add a cup of buttermilk to the mixture, adding more as needed.

Step 4: Fry

In a large frying pan, heat 1/8-inch oil over medium heat. Using 1/4 cup, drop batter into hot oil and flatten into patties. Fry until golden brown on each side, adding more oil as needed.

It’s better to cook these longer and lower than higher and quicker, as you don’t want the outside to crisp up before the shredded potatoes have cooked through.

What to Eat with Boxty

It’s true they are so tasty that you may want to just eat them alone, but if you’re looking to make a meal of it try serving your boxty with either fresh butter, crème Fraiche, green onions, bacon, smoked salmon and eggs. For an authentic Irish dinner try serving it with corned beef and fried cabbage.

The post How to Make Boxty, Ireland’s Famous Potato Pancakes appeared first on Taste Recipes.

Boxty

Yes, we’re starting with potatoes. But boxty deserves the top spot! The potato pancakes are made with both grated raw and mashed potatoes, and their origins stem back to the Great Famine. It’s even mentioned in an old Irish rhyme: “Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan; if you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man.”

Psst! We also have the scoop on classic British foods.

Shepherd’s Pie

First appearing in the late 1700s, shepherd’s pie was a popular way to use up leftovers, with many Irish cooks developing a personal spin on the recipe.

Take note, there’s a difference between shepherd’s pie and cottage pie. Traditionally, shepherd’s pie uses lamb, whereas cottage pie uses ground beef. But today, many Americans use the term shepherd’s pie for both.

Barmbrack

Barmbrack, usually shortened to “brack,” is an Irish fruitcake filled with raisins, fruit and spices. It’s soaked in tea and whiskey overnight for a sweet snack in the afternoon. It also has a starring role at Halloween, when Irish folks put trinkets in the dough. If you find a coin, wealth is on its way; find a ring and you’ll marry within the year.

Satisfy your sweet tooth with more Irish baking recipes.

Champ

Champ is similar to mashed potatoes but with lots and lots of butter (preferably Irish butter). It’s made with potatoes, milk and scallions and topped with a knob of melting butter for a delicious, rich Irish dish. Serve with a fried egg if you want a little extra protein or put it on a St. Patrick’s Day charcuterie board!

Irish Stew

Irish stew is a comforting one-pot meal, cooked slowly until the meat is ultra-tender. This Irish dish is known for its simplicity, relying on only a few key ingredients. In Ireland, lamb is the meat of choice, though Americans often make this stew with beef. Potatoes, onions and sometimes carrots round out the dish.

Black and White Pudding

Black pudding is spicy, rich and earthy. The Irish like to enjoy black pudding with white pudding, which is lighter and tastes a little like oatmeal. It often appears on the table as part of an Irish breakfast, but it can be enjoyed throughout the day for a tasty dose of protein and minerals.

Irish Soda Bread

You know this one, right? Irish soda bread is a quick bread made with baking soda (not soda pop). The basic recipe is pretty simple, but many Irish cooks add a personal twist by mixing in different fruit and spices. The unique Irish soda bread recipes are passed down from generation to generation.

Coddle

A coddle is a one-pot stew made with leftovers from the week, such as sausage, bacon, potatoes and onions. Its name comes from “coddling,” or simmering, the ingredients for hours before it’s ready to eat. It’s a favorite dish in Dublin, along with these classic Irish recipes.

Colcannon

The traditional Irish food pairs creamy mashed potatoes with cabbage. It can also feature greens like kale, scallions and leeks (its verdant color makes it a St. Patrick’s Day classic) and is often served with boiled ham. Most Irish cooks have their own colcannon recipes, but our recipe for colcannon potatoes with bacon is a great place to start.

Irish Coffee

With so much whiskey produced in Ireland, it’s only natural that this spirit found its way into coffee, too. An Irish coffee is made with black coffee, Irish whiskey, a bit of sugar and cream.

Cabbage Soup

Cabbage soup is a classic dish for a reason. It’s flavorful, warming and simple to make—all things we love. There are numerous spins on this traditional Irish food, but they often feature savory veggies like cabbage (of course), potatoes and celery, along with bacon (although you can also make vegan cabbage soup).

Smoked Salmon

Thanks to the waters surrounding Ireland, salmon is a delicious traditional meal—especially when it’s smoked. Often, it’s eaten with lemon, butter and coleslaw, but you can also pair it with boxty or a scrambled egg.

You might not think so, but making smoked salmon at home is simple!

Bread Pudding

Originally developed as a way to use up stale bread, bread pudding is a sweet dish, spiced with cinnamon and raisins. Traditionally, bread pudding is steamed, but you can also bake it to speed things along. You can get creative by using different types of bread as the base (croissants might not be traditional, but they are delicious) and throwing in additions like chocolate and nuts.

Irish Shortbread

Irish shortbread cookies go back centuries, where leftover dough from making bread was baked in an oven until it was crisp. Butter and sugar helped it evolve into a “biscuit” that pairs perfectly with Irish tea today. The secret? Irish butter has a slightly higher fat content than American butter.

Seafood Chowder

Integrating local ingredients into a seafood chowder that keeps you toasty on chilly nights? Count us in. You can use a mix of available fish (salmon, shrimp and cod are popular in Ireland) and other staples like potatoes and cabbage. Naturally, it should be served alongside Irish soda bread.

Black Velvet

This drink is as luxurious as it sounds. Though it was created by a bartender in London, a black velvet is a classic Irish drink that pairs the dark hoppiness of Guinness with the effervescence of champagne. Discover more festive Irish drinks. Slainte!

Blaa

It might not sound like a crowd favorite, but blaa is a beloved Irish specialty, particularly in Waterford. It’s a soft, fluffy bread roll, often slathered with butter or used in sandwiches. They’re big at breakfast but can be enjoyed throughout the day.

Porter Cake

Fruit cake meets beer in this traditional Irish food. Porter balances sweetness with a bitter, distinct flavor and keeps the cake moist. It was often made around Christmas, but we don’t see any reason it can’t be enjoyed year-round. Here’s a fact to share—porter was first brewed in the 1720s, several years before Guinness opened its doors.

Irish Apple Cake

An apple a day keeps the doctor away—even when it’s cake, right? A traditional Irish food, this apple cake is mildly spiced and topped with thin slices of apple and a crumbly oat streusel. Opt for a type of apple that’s on the tarter side.

Boiled Bacon and Cabbage

This dish is a lesson in simplicity—it’s exactly what its name suggests. To make this traditional Irish food, use a cut of bacon from the shoulder or back of the pig (American bacon usually comes from the belly). It’s often served with a white parsley bechamel sauce.

Irish Potato Farls

Irish potato farls are a tasty addition to breakfast and a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. The word farl comes from a Gaelic word meaning “four parts,” which makes sense in the way they’re cooked like a pancake shape that’s been separated into fourths. Farls are quite simple to make, typically consisting of only mashed potatoes, flour, butter and salt.

Rhubarb Tart

People who love rhubarb recipes will love to know that the rhubarb tart or pie is quite popular in Ireland in spring and summer. While it’s fun to put your own twist on pastries (like this rectangular rhubarb tart with a sweet cheese base), the one you’re most likely to see in Ireland is a humble pie-shaped tart with a filling made up of just rhubarb and sugar. Less is most certainly more with this sweet dessert.

Also, add these Irish desserts to your list that will be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day and beyond.

Irish Pasties

If you’ve been to England, you’ve probably enjoyed a few pasties, but they’re also a popular snack in Northern Ireland. Soft pastry dough encases a dense filling of potatoes, beef and vegetables tossed in gravy. They’re basically handheld potpies and you’ll soon become addicted to them!

Irish Brown Bread

Irish brown bread is ideal for serving with seafood chowder and hearty stews or snacking on a slice smothered in butter with afternoon tea. It doesn’t use all purpose flour like you might be used to in typical bread recipes. Instead, it uses wholemeal flour. This gives the loaf a wonderful texture—even more coarse than whole wheat breads.

Whether you want to start your morning with something special or relax after a long day, an Irish coffee is a nice treat. For a more traditional flavor, you can leave out the creme de menthe.
