Ingredients

1.5 cups grated raw potatoes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 large egg
1 tablespoon skim milk
salt and pepper to taste
0.25 cup olive oil

Instructions

Prepare all necessary ingredients for making boxty.
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with flour. Gently incorporate the mashed potatoes until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add this mixture to the potatoes, ensuring a smooth consistency. Season thoughtfully with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Carefully drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, shaping them into patties approximately 2 inches in diameter. Fry each side until beautifully golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked boxty to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the best taste and texture.
