What's a boxty, you might ask? A boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake known to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Made from both mashed and grated potatoes, boxties are served either as a side dish in patty form, or as a thin pancake, folded and filled with a variety of meat, fish, and vegetables. One thing we know to be true, both preparations are mouthwateringly good!
