Recipes for St Patrick's Day

Boxty

Potato Griddle Cakes

Ingredients

225g/8oz raw potatoes
225g/8oz potatoes, cooked and mashed
225g/8oz plain flour
salt and pepper to taste
1 Free Range egg or 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
50g/2oz butter or margarine, melted
a little milk if necessary

Method

1. Peel and grate the raw potatoes and mix with the cooked, mashed potatoes. Stir in the flour (with the bicarbonate of soda if using) and season well with salt and pepper.

2. Beat the egg (if using) and add to the potatoes with the melted fat and enough milk to make a batter of dropping consistency.

3. Grease and heat a griddle or heavy frying pan and drop tablespoons of the mixture onto the hot surface, cooking until crispy and golden on both sides. You will need to do this in batches.

4. Serve with apple sauce or as part of a Vegetarian Ulster Fry (veggie 'bacon', veggie 'sausages', fried eggs and fried bread).
