description Boxty Overview
Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake associated especially with the north Midlands, northern Connacht, and southern Ulster. Recipes vary, but a common version combines finely grated raw potato with flour and sometimes mashed cooked potato before the mixture is fried on a pan or griddle. The result is a smooth, fine-grained potato cake rather than a plain slice of boiled or baked potato, and it is used in regional Irish cooking.
