"You can eat as a pancake or fill like a Taco with bangers and sauteed peppers. I also like a few onions in my Banger Boxty.....From Food Network Note: This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant.

directions

Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot, drop into a bowl and mash immediately.
Grate the raw potatoes, add to the mashed potatoes with the flour and sifted bread soda.
Mix well, and add enough buttermilk to make a stiff batter.
Heat a frying pan, grease with butter and cook large or small pancakes in the usual way.
Eat them straight from the pan with butter, crispy rashers or pure Irish honey.
*Note: an Irish tablespoon is the same quantity as an American tablespoon plus a teaspoon.

These are fairly simple to make and representative of what I think a good boxty recipe should be. I was a little confused about the measurements, not knowing if the parenthetical measurements were the Irish ones or not. I used 8 oz. of potatoes, which I steamed in the microwave. I used 8 oz. of raw potatoes to shred (and for both, I used red-skinned potatoes that were peeled). I used 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 t. of baking powder, and 1 cup of buttermilk, and added about 1/2 t. of salt (since potatoes absorb so much). I also threw in a little pepper. I made small pancakes, and ended up with about 8 of them. I would like to try this recipe again, making large pancakes next time! Made for ZWT8.
