Boxty is unique because it combines both raw and mashed potatoes, giving it a crispy outside and a soft, almost fluffy inside. The name "boxty" is believed to come from the Irish phrase arán bocht tí, meaning "poor house bread." Today, however, it’s a celebrated dish found in pubs and homes across Ireland, often enjoyed on St. Patrick’s Day and beyond.
How Do You Make Boxty?
Boxty is incredibly simple to make and relies on just a few key ingredients that most people already have on hand. The traditional boxty recipe includes a mix of raw grated potatoes and mashed potatoes to give the dish its signature texture. Starchy potatoes like Russets work best.
Once you have your batter ready, you'll need butter or oil to fry the potato pancakes until they're golden brown and crispy, much as you would a standard breakfast pancake.

How Should You Serve Boxty?
In Ireland, boxty is often served alongside a full breakfast, which includes eggs, bacon, sausage and black pudding. The boxty acts as the perfect vehicle for soaking up all those delicious flavors.
Much like a baked potato, boxty pairs beautifully with sour cream and fresh herbs for a light but delicious option, and if you love comfort food (like I do), try serving boxty alongside a rich beef or lamb stew. It would also be delicious served with corned beef. I can imagine heating up some leftover corned beef and serving it on top of boxty for a post-St. Patrick's Day breakfast.
Whether you keep it classic or put your own spin on it, boxty is proof that simple ingredients can create something truly special.
