Traditional Irish Boxty

Boxty stands out as one of the most iconic dishes in Irish cuisine, far surpassing some of the trendier, less traditional options (looking at you, green cupcakes!). A staple in Irish cooking, it has even inspired charming old rhymes like:
“Boxty on the griddle; boxty on the pan.
If you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man.”

Some versions even claim you need to eat boxty to win a man’s heart! Whichever way you slice it, these delicious potato pancakes are a delightful way to savor authentic Irish flavors.


Ingredients

IngredientAmount
Russet potatoes3 (divided)
All-purpose flour2 cups
Salt2 1/2 teaspoons (divided)
Baking soda1 teaspoon
Buttermilk1 1/2 – 2 cups
Vegetable oil1/4 cup
Green onions (chopped)2 (for garnish)
Sour cream1/2 cup (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Peel and cube 2 potatoes. Place the cubes in a pot with enough water to cover them. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil until fork-tender. Drain, mash, and refrigerate the mashed potatoes for 1-2 hours.
  2. Peel and grate the remaining potato. Wrap the grated potato in paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, grated potatoes, flour, salt, baking soda, and 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Add more buttermilk if the mixture feels too dry.
  4. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Scoop large spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the pan and press them flat. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
