Paddy's day Boxty recipe, just like my Nan's

Growing up I remember that my nan and my mum always had a love of sharing great food with us, an expression of love.
 
Certain things my nan made remind me of her to this day.  Her amazing vegetable soup, fantastic pancakes and her boxty reminds me of St Patricks day.
 
I wasn’t cute enough to get the recipe from her while she was alive but I’ll try to get as close as I can.  They were thick and fluffy and full of potatoey goodness.
 
I know she used mashed potato and grated potato in her recipe so that’s where I started
 
My Boxty Recipe
Makes – 8 - 10
Total Time – 30 minutes 
 
Ingredients
2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
2 cups grated raw potato (peeled)
3 cups plain/cream flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 cups buttermilk/kefir milk/whole milk + 1tsp vinegar
½ cup chopped scallions (optional)
2 Tbsp rapeseed 
 
Method
  1. Make your mix first.  Start by wringing out the potato water by placing the grated potato into a clean tea towel and wring the water out.  Discard the potato water
  2. Mix all the other ingredients together in a bowl including the grated potato with the exception of the buttermilk.  Add the scallion at this point if you want to.
  3. Add the buttermilk and bring everything together to resemble a dough.
  4. Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed frying pan/skillet, on a  medium heat.
  5. Take a palm sized piece of the boxty dough and pat into a round shape then add to the pan.  Repeat till you have no space for more (approx. 4-5 boxty per round)
  6. Fry on one side till golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side (approx. 5 mins each side)
  7. Either serve hot or place in a warm oven if cooking a large batch to keep them warm.
 
Happy St Patricks day and I hope you enjoy the Boxty and a Very Happy Mothers Day to all those women we love and learn from
