Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes. Cut half of the quantity into small chunks, to ensure quicker cooking.
  2. Submerge them in water, add 1 tsp salt and boil for about 5-7 minutes until soft when pierced with a knife. Drain off the water and mash them using a hand held masher or a fork.
  3. When the first half of the potatoes are boiling, grate the other half using a box or handheld grater. 
  4. Place the grated potatoes onto a clean cheesecloth or lint free drying cloth. Gather up the corners and sides and squeeze the starchy liquid out of the raw grated potatoes.
  5. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking powder. Toss the dry grated potatoes with the flour mixture to reduce browning of the potatoes. Add the mashed potatoes to the bowl.
  6. Add the buttermilk to the bowl and mix everything together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do not over mix.
  7. Pre heat an electric flat top griddle to 350 degrees F. Add a knob of butter and when it melts, brush it over the surface to grease it.
  8. Spoon some Irish Pancake batter onto the griddle surface.
  9. Fill the griddle with Irish Pancakes. I was able to fit 8 on mine.
  10. Fry one side of the pancake until golden brown (about 5 minutes) and then flip to allow the other side to cook.
