Ingredients
- 1 cup raw potatoes (about ½ lb)
- 1 cup cooked mashed potatoes (about ½ lb)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk , or buttermilk (more or less)
- unsalted butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Grate the raw potatoes into a bowl.
- Place the grated raw potatoes in a cheesecloth and squeeze to remove excess moisture, catching the liquid in another bowl.
- This will separate into a clear liquid with the starch remaining at the bottom. Pour off the liquid and scrape out the starch. Mix with the grated raw potatoes and add the mashed potatoes.
- Sieve the dry ingredients and add to the potato mixture along with the melted butter. Add the milk and mix. Add enough milk to obtain a thick pancake batter.
- Ladle the batter on a hot pan or griddle with butter or oil. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Serve hot with butter or sugar. You can also serve it with an Irish breakfast or a dollop of sour cream topped with chives.
