Kevin Dundon's Irish Potatoes Boxty
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover mash potatoes Or you can prepare fresh
- 1 cup red potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1-2 tbsp plain flour or corn starch
- 2 tbsp fresh sage
- 4 tbsp Irish butter
- pinch or two of flake salt or sea salt, optional
- salt and pepper
- smoked salmon slices
- poached or fried eggs
- wilted spinach
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes into a bowl. Squeeze to remove excess water if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled mash potato and add the grated raw potato and half of the sage.
- Season well with salt and pepper and stir to create a soft dough. Add some flour to help stiffen the mixture if needed.
- Heat some oil in a pan over a medium to low heat, form and shape thick discs of the potatoes mixture and lightly press on the pan to make sure it is sticking together.
- Cook for 3 -4 minutes until the base of the boxty is golden brown. Flip over and add the butter and the rest of the sage. Continue cooking for a further 3-4 minutes depending on the thickness until the boxty are piping hot in the middle, basting with the foaming butter.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately with slices of smoked salmon, poached or fried eggs, wilted spinach and sprinkle of sea salt and extra fresh sage if desired.
Enjoy!
