Boxty are Irish potato pancakes. They're often served for brunch, but they taste great with corned beef.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more if needed
1 large onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup shredded Irish cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground pepper
Finely chopped fresh chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water by 1 inch and season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then transfer to a large bowl, add the milk and mash until smooth. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cooked onion, egg yolk, flour, cheese, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the potatoes; stir until combined. Scoop 1/4 cupfuls of the potato mixture onto a lightly floured surface and form into twelve 3-inch pancakes.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the pancakes until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Gently flip, adding more butter to the pan if necessary, and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 3 to 4 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve. Top with chives.

I followed the recipe exactly and my boxty turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

These boxty were a bit bland for my taste. I think I will add more herbs next time.

I love these boxty! They are so easy to make and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I like to serve them with sour cream and applesauce.

These boxty are so delicious! I made them for my family last night and they were a hit. The cheddar cheese and herbs give them so much flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
