Steps:

  • Toss the grated potatoes with flour in a large bowl. Stir in mashed potatoes until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and skim milk; mix into the potatoes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop in the potato mixture, forming patties about 2 inches in diameter. Fry on both sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.

BOXTY

Boxty is essentially potato cakes using both grated and mashed potatoes. The word comes from the Irish bac-stai, for the traditional cooking of potatoes on the hob (bac) over an open fire (stai.) Margaret Johnson ("The New Irish Table") gives this recipe for a boxty from a restaurant in Killarney, County Kerry, using only grated potatoes. She recommends serving it with bacon and cabbage or Irish stew.

Steps:

  • Line a large bowl with a piece of muslin or cheesecloth, or a clean linen towel.
  • Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the potatoes into the bowl.
  • Squeeze the cloth to extract as much of the starchy liquid as possible.
  • Discard the starchy liquid, return the potatoes to the bowl, and stir in the onion, eggs, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Add the flour and mix well.
  • In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
  • Drop the potato mixture, 1 tablespoonful at a time, into the skillet; do not crowd the pan.
  • Flatten each cake with a spatula and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned and crisp.
  • Transfer the cakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200-degree oven.
  • Repeat until all the mixture is used, adding more butter as necessary.
  • Serve immediately.
