Ingredients
- 3 peeled medium-sized Yukon potatoes this should make about 3 cups shredded
- 3 cups mashed potatoes
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- coarse sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Unsalted Butter for frying
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes onto a large flour sack towel or kitchen towel.
- Fold up the 4 ends of the towel and then twist it over the sink squeezing out as much of the potato liquid as possible.
- Add the drained potatoes to a large bowl.
- Next, add in the leftover mashed potatoes, flour, buttermilk, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until the batter is combined. If It’s too thick add more buttermilk and if it’s too thin, add some flour. It should be the consistency of soupy mashed potatoes.
- Add the butter to a 10” cast iron skillet and heat until it’s melted over medium-high heat.
- Pour about 1 ½ to 2 cups of the potato batter to the cast iron skillet and spread out using a ladle to flatten it. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Cook the boxty for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and flip it over and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked throughout.
- Remove from the pan, garnish with optional sliced green onions, slice into triangles and serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten when they’re done cooking. You can keep them warm uncovered, placed on a rack on a sheet tray, and in the oven at low temperatures (200°) for up to 30 minutes before serving.
- How to Store: Cover and keep them in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. These will freeze well and be covered for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge for 1 day or until thawed.
- How to Reheat: Placed the desired number of boxty on a rack over a sheet tray and bake in the oven at 400° for 4 to 6 minutes or until hot and crispy.
- Raw russet potatoes can be used in this recipe.
- Feel free to use a mashed potato from either Yukon gold or red potatoes.
- You can substitute half and half or whole milk for the buttermilk.
- Feel free to make the boxty into smaller sizes, 2” to 3” in diameter, for quicker cooking and easier-to-flip procedures.
- After flipping over the boxty, finish it in the oven at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and cooked throughout.
- If you do not have a cast iron skillet, a regular 10" non-stick skillet will work great.
