Irish Boxty Potato Pancakes with Bacon and Cabbage

Method

1. 1

   Grate half the potatoes and boil and mash the other half, then squeeze excess liquid from the grated potato.

2. 2

   Mix the grated and mashed potato with the egg, flour and milk to form a thick batter, and season well.

3. 3

   Heat the butter in a frying pan, fry the bacon for 3–4 minutes until crisp, then add the cabbage and cook for 3–4 minutes until wilted. Remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Wipe the pan, add a little more butter, and spoon in the potato batter to form 2–3 pancakes. Fry for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve the boxty pancakes topped with the bacon and cabbage.
