I loved the boxties at the Irish Pub Andrea took us to in Vegas. So sad they closed! In clearning out more files, I found this recipe.

Pan Boxty Cakes
1 cup grated peeled raw potato
1 cup thick mashed potatoes
1 cup unsifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs,beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
Butter or Margarine
Sugar or cinnamon sugar

1. Use food processor to grate potatoes or grate potato by hand.
2. Place grated potato on clean dish towel and press out excess liquid.
3. Combine grated potato with mashed potato. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, mix well.
4. Add eggs and milk, mixing to make a soft batter.
5. Heat skillet with 2 Tbsp butter until hot. Drop batter by tablespoons onto skillet and cook 4-5 minutes on each side until well browned.
6. Serve hot with butter and sugar or cinnamon sugar. Makes 6 servings
