Boxty

This recipe was great! Served them with sour cream as a side dish on St. Patty’s Day. Kids and adults loved them. The only modification I made (after a delicious test batch) was to add slightly less flour.

I like this dish for simplicity of the potato flavor...mine was not too floury tasting at all. I baked a huge potato in the oven like the recipe said to, and I grated a large red potato, skin and all for some extra color. I did top mine with just a sprinkle of parmigiano-regianno cheese.

These were okay, but it would be helpful to have actual measurements for the salt and pepper. It's hard to season something like this "to taste". I felt like I had added a LOT of salt and pepper, but they still needed more. Also, the raw potato doesn't get cooked very well, so I might adapt the recipe next time by par-cooking the shredded potato before mixing it with the other ingredients. Other than that, the flavor was good. I, too, "baked" my potatoes in the microwave instead of the oven to save time. I had to use a buttermilk substitute (milk + vinegar), so I'd like to try them with real buttermilk next time. I served them topped with sour cream and a little shredded cheddar cheese.
