For best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets for the grated raw potatoes.
Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients.
If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches a pancake-like consistency.
Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. Boxty can be reheated, but they are best fresh from the skillet.
Experiment with different toppings! Sour cream, chives, or even a dollop of apple sauce can complement the savory flavor of the boxty.

    Using buttermilk instead of regular milk gave the boxty a lovely tangy flavor.

    These were great with a dollop of sour cream and some smoked salmon.

    Make sure to squeeze out all the moisture from the grated potatoes, or they'll be soggy.

  • Jade Kuvalis

    I found that using a cast iron skillet gave them the best crispy crust.

  • Gayle Watsica

    I added a pinch of baking soda to the batter and it made them extra fluffy!

    Make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter! I had to throw out my first batch.
