This looks amazing! My grandma used to make boxty all the time. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Too much butter! It was greasy. Next time I’ll use less. But overall, pretty good.
I don’t know, isn’t boxty supposed to be made with just raw potatoes? Adding mashed potatoes seems off.
Nah, it’s gotta be raw potatoes only! Adding mashed sounds weird. 😕
I thought boxty was just grated potatoes too, but it actually tastes great with mashed potatoes! Gives it a nice texture.
It tasted alright, but I think I put too much flour… What does buttermilk even do? 🤔
Buttermilk adds moisture and helps with the fluffiness! Don’t stress too much about the flour, just tweak it next time!
