boxty (irish potato dish)
"Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan. If you can't make boxty, you'll never get your man." - Traditional Irish Rhyme about Boxty
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Boxty is a traditional Irish dish that's dense and hearty. Made with a mixture of grated potato and mashed potato, they're easy to make. Once the potato pancakes are pan-fried, they're a little crisp outside and soft inside. Boxty is often served at breakfast, but you can really enjoy them any time of the day.
