Ingredients:

6 ounces mashed potato
8 ounces all-purpose flour
1 pint milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning, plus 1 ounce of cracked black pepper, for filling

Directions:
Boxty Mix:
Wash and drain the raw potatoes at least twice to remove all starch. Place the raw and mashed potatoes in a large pot, add the flour and milk. Season and blend to a smooth consistency. Drop a small ladle full onto a hot griddle; push the mixture from the center outward with the bottom of the ladle, cook for 2 minutes then flip the boxty over and cook through. Season with salt and pepper.

Irish Beef Filling:
Sear the fillets on both sides in an oiled, well-heated pan. Remove from the pan and set aside. Fry the onions and mushrooms until soft, add the whiskey (careful not to burn your eyebrows off), add the cream, cracked pepper and season with salt, to taste. Reduce the mixture a little then return the fillets to the pan. Continue cooking until the sauce is thickened to the right consistency.

Irish Beef Boxty:
Place 3 medallions onto each hot boxty, cover with sauce and roll over to make an omelet shape. Spoon some sauce on the top and garnish with watercress.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Here are two Irish recipes. Both my wife and I are of Irish descent and think these are two great staples for Irish cooking, especially as we head into the cooler weather.
