Directions: |
Directions: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, 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve warm.
Alternate version: In a 12 inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon and onions until browned. Remove from skillet. Reserve 1 T. bacon grease. Set aside bacon and onions. Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together Simply Potatoes, baking mix, cheese, cooked bacon and onions. Stir in milk and egg just until moistened. Heat bacon grease in skillet over medium heat. Spoon four generous 1/4 cups of potato mixture into skillet at a time. Flatten slightly into pancakes. Cook each pancake about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use additional vegetable oil in skillet if needed. |

Notes: Boxty is an Irish potato pancake. There are many versions including a breakfast pancake and a crepe stuffed with meat or vegetables. A folk rhyme accompanies this Irish dish: "Boxty on the griddle, Boxty on the pan, If you can't bake boxty, Sure you'll never get a man". It seems to be outdated around these parts.
