There are lots of Irish Boxty recipes around - but this one, that was passed down to me by my non-existent Irish Nanna, is the best in my British, non Irish and therefore unqualified opinion. With a smooth creamy interior and a crispy outside, this Irish potato pancake is great for breakfast or any other time of day. It's a lot like a hash brown in a way but with more politics baked in. Especially if it's made by an Englishman. I'm not worried though because my fictitious Irish grandma would definitely approve of this recipe. Even if her stoic, unsentimental attitude would theoretically prevent her from showing it.

Irish Boxty full recipe:

600g peeled floury potatoes
Salt to taste
Generous dusting of pepper
50g melted butter plus spring onions if you like
50g all purpose flour

Cook in a generously oiled pan on medium for 5-7 minutes per side.

Enjoy!
