    Irish Potato Boxty (Potato Pancakes) by Barry Horne

    This recipe is perfect for using up leftover mashed potatoes and great fried up with a breakfast on St. Patrick's day.


    Ingredients (makes 8-10 pancakes)

    500g leftover mashed potatoes

    500g grated raw potato 

    400g plain flour 

    1tsp baking powder

    400ml buttermilk

    Salt and pepper to taste

    50g butter for cooking


    Method:

    In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add a bit more flour if needed to form a thick batter.

    Place a large non stick pan on a medium high heat and when hot add a small amount of butter, drop in small ladles of the batter into the pan to form small circles.

    Cook on either side for 4-5 mins until golden and the raw potato has cooked through.

    Serve alongside a classic irish breakfast of sausages, rashers of bacon, black and white pudding and eggs.
