Traditional Irish Boxty

1 cup (250g) mashed potato (freshly made or leftovers)

1 cup (250g) peeled and grated raw potato

1 ½ cups (220g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda (bicarb of soda)

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (250ml) buttermilk ((or 250ml milk with 2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice stirred in and left for 5 mins))

Butter or oil (for frying)

Wring the grated potato out in a clean tea towel to dry it out a little. Discard the starchy water.
Add all ingredients except the buttermilk to a mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
Stir in the buttermilk to make a thick batter.
Heat a little oil or butter in a frying pan over a medium/low heat, then add tablespoonfuls of the boxty batter and fry until golden and cooked though, about 5 minutes per side. Flip and cook the other side.
If making batches, keep them warm in the oven.
