How to Make Paul's Irish Boxty
- Peel and grate 2 large russet potatoes into a large bowl.
- Immediately pour 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk) over the grated potatoes to prevent browning.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a small bowl, beat 1 large egg.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients (potato mixture and egg).
- If using, gently fold in 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
- Mix thoroughly until just combined. The batter should be thick, similar to pancake batter.
- Add more milk (1-2 tablespoons at a time) or flour (1 tablespoon at a time) as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Drop spoonfuls (about 1/4 cup each) of the batter onto the hot skillet, spreading each to form a 6-inch circle.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately. Optional: Top with a creamy cheddar and cream of chicken sauce (heat 1 can of cream of chicken soup and stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted).
