Directions
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.,any idea what a serving size is? The recipe lists cakes, but not how many people the recipe will serve, and the nutritional data says the entire recipe makes one serving… 16 potato cakes for 54 calories? I think not. Anyone know?,Can these be frozen?
