This meaty version of boxty, aka Irish potato pancakes, is the perfect use for leftover corned beef.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded, cooked corned beef
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instruction
- Peel half the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. In a medium saucepan, cover the potato pieces with salted water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the cooked potatoes and force through a ricer into a bowl.
- Peel the remaining potatoes and grate with a box grater. Wrap the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze as much liquid from them as you can. Transfer the grated potatoes to the bowl. Stir in the flour, milk, egg, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and corned beef.
- Form the batter into 1/3-cup-sized patties.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat half the butter over medium heat until hot, then cook the patties in batches, turning occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes per batch. Cook the remaining patties in the remaining butter. Serve.
