Boxty the authentic Irish potato pancake video recipe
Boxty (Irish: bacstaí) is a traditional Irish potato pancake. The dish is mostly associated with the north midlands, north Connacht and southern Ulster, in particular the counties of Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo, Donegal, Fermanagh, Longford, and Cavan. There are many recipes but all contain finely grated, raw potatoes and all are served fried.
The most popular version of the dish consists of finely grated raw potato and mashed potato with flour, baking soda, buttermilk, and sometimes egg. The grated potato may be strained to remove most of the starch and water but this is not necessary. The mixture is fried on a griddle pan for a few minutes on each side, similar to a normal pancake. Traditional alternatives include using only raw potatoes, boiling it as a dumpling or baking it as a loaf. The most noticeable difference between boxty and other fried potato dishes is its smooth, fine-grained consistency.
The old Irish rhyme is: Boxty on the griddle; boxty on the pan. If you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man!

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this weekend and use up some leftover mashed potatoes by making this traditional Irish potato pancake!
2 medium potatoes, grated
2 c. flour
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
1 c. mashed potatoes
1 ¼ c. buttermilk - maybe more if batter is too thick
Butter for the pan
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine grated potato and mashed potato. Add the flour and mix well.
Slowly add the buttermilk, being careful not to overmix. It should be a thick, firm batter. Add more buttermilk if needed.
Heat a frying pan on medium and add a pat of butter. Add a generous scoop of batter and flatten into a big pancake. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Add more butter and repeat until the batter is finished.
Enjoy with either sweet or savory toppings. Some like their boxty with sour cream and scallions, others with more butter and jam. It’s also a delicious part of a traditional Irish breakfast.

Boxty potato pancakes are a traditional Irish recipe and they come with a great little rhyme that we were taught growing up: 'Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan, if you can't bake boxty, sure you'll never get a man.’. The traditional recipe varies from region to region, but they all use grated raw potato. This is the version that my family makes and they are great with a full Irish breakfast.

Authentic Irish Potato Farls Recipe ☘️
Try my Authentic Irish Potato Farls recipe — my mum used to make them using leftover mashed potato and cook them off for breakfast as part of a traditional fry.
A potato Farl goes by many names! It's also known as potato fadge, potato cakes, griddle cakes, and boxty. It originated out of a way to use up leftover mashed potatoes from the dinner the night before. Made with cupboard staples, it's a humble recipe that might not seem like much but boy are they delicious.
