What it is
'Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan': a potato pancake of grated raw potato, mashed potato and flour, fried in butter — the north-west's beloved bread-cake. Ingredients: raw potatoes (grated and wrung), mashed potatoes, flour, baking soda, buttermilk, salt, butter. Recipe: 1) Grate raw potatoes; squeeze out the liquid (save the starch). 2) Mix with mashed potato, flour, soda and buttermilk into a batter. 3) Fry ladles in butter until golden both sides. 4) For baked boxty, bake the batter as a loaf. Serve: with butter for breakfast, or wrapped around fillings at Boxty restaurants in Leitrim and beyond. Flavor: crisp edges, soft potato heart. History: boxty (arán bocht tine, 'poor-house bread') stretches back to the pre-Famine potato economy; the rhyme promises a husband to whoever can make it. See also: Irish Stew, Colcannon.
