Boxty

Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake. Throughout your visit to Ireland, you’ll be amazed at all the creative ways potatoes will be used. From breakfast straight through to dinner, you could eat potatoes three meals a day if you wished. While boxty isn’t as popular in Dublin as it is in areas of the west such as Mayo, Sligo, and Donegal, you may still see it on some menus. By combining finely grated raw potato with mashed potato, flour, baking soda and buttermilk, a distinct texture is created. This is then fried on a griddle for a few minutes on each side.
