Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes)

Chef Del

My Mom often made potato pancakes when we had leftover mashed potatoes. Her version did not use grated potatoes like the traditional Irish version, but they were delicious. I bake these instead of frying them with equally good results.

Makes 12 pancakes

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp sea salt

1.5 cups grated potato

1 cup mashed potato 

1 cup plain unsweetened plant milk

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the grated potato to the bowl and mix well.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and gently fold them together.
  4. Shape into 12 pancakes and place on a non-stick baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, turn and bake the other side for an additional 10 minutes
