Irish Boxty

I had some mash left over so I decided to try my hand at vegetarian potato pancakes, otherwise known as Irish Boxty. They turned out ok with a few herbs from the garden thrown in. Apparently they were staple diet in Ireland at one point😊

Well, I used buttermilk but I’m sure you could substitute plant based. I did it really because I had a surfeit of mashed spud😊

Hi Alb2 ,

Your Irish Boxty/Vegetarian Potato Pancakes sound wonderful. How many are in each batch?😀👍🥞

I had enough for six but it will depend on how much mashed you’ve got left over I guess😊

Sounds delish. Wish there was an accompanying photo but I'll go with the vibe of "Dont worry bout a thang....." 🎶 cuz instead I can stare at your Marley profile pic.

I love boxty Alb and they definitely were a good filling meal in Ireland, my husband was brought up on them, and with the extra herbs thrown in I'll bet they were 😋

Yes, apparently there was an old Irish poem that said you couldn’t get a man if you couldn’t make a Boxty. My Mum was Irish but never made them so a new discovery for me😊

Happyman please don't encourage me to go off topic 😂The Castle is still there, I must pop in there one day to see if your cheque is, John Murphy Yard is still around the corner, boxty and steak sounds like a very hearty meal👌

Your Boxty sounds really good Alb2 I love potato pancakes. 😊

Gosh! That takes me back. Not had them for years. Definitely, when preparing tonight's dinner I will do tons of extra spuds, ready for Boxties tomorrow. Slurp 😋
