Irish Style Potato Chive Pancakes Recipes

IRISH POTATO PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix until the batter is thick and creamy.
• Heat a large, nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of oil.
• Cook spoonfuls of the batter for 5-7 minutes per side until golden, crisp and cooked through.
• Place cooked pancakes on a sheetpan/roasting tray and place in a warm oven while you cook the remaining batter.
• Serve warm with sides of your choice.

BOXTY (IRISH POTATO PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Prepare the pickled red onions: Slice the red onion thinly from stem to stem, then transfer slices to a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar and salt dissolve, then pour on top of onions; set aside.
• Prepare the boxty: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water; season generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Peel half the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes, tossing the cubes into the water as you go. Once the water comes to a boil, continue to cook until potatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While the diced potatoes boil, peel the remaining potatoes, then grate them coarsely using a box grater. Season the grated potatoes generously with 2 teaspoons sea salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, toss to coat, then transfer them to a clean, dry kitchen towel. Squeeze the grated potatoes over a sink to remove the excess liquid, then transfer them to a large bowl.
• Once the diced potatoes are soft, transfer them to a colander to strain, then transfer to the large bowl with the grated potatoes; mash until creamy, and mashed and grated potatoes are well combined.
• Pour the buttermilk on top of the warm potato mixture and stir briefly just to combine.
• Add the flour and baking powder and stir until thoroughly combined.
• In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon in the potato mixture using 1/3 cup measure to form small 3- to 4-inch-wide pancakes, leaving at least 1 inch of space between pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pancakes, adding more butter between batches as needed.
• Serve pancakes topped with pickled red onions, and smoked salmon and sour cream, if you like.

Cook until underside is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Slide pancake onto a plate; invert onto a second plate. Slide pancake (browned side up) back into skillet.
