Irish Boxty

What do you get when you mix mashed potatoes with grated potatoes? Boxty, of course! The mix of potatoes gives this traditional Irish potato pancake a unique texture, and it's tough to beat for comfort food when served with a little sour cream or maple syrup.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I loved the corned beef boxty I would get in my old town and decided to make it for company. I used this recipie and a corned beef recipe from this site as well as a cream mustard recipe from here. It was amazing. Tips: The second time we used a very fine grater for the raw and this made them smoother and cook better. Try and make them thin. We would put a scoop on the skillet and then slowly pull off the top batter to the sides. As the bottom layer solidified to the grill you kept pulling the remaining batter to the sides. Made them thin. Also, consider a more oval shape if using a filling as it folds over better. Best meal I've had in years!

Boxty is served at a local restaurant covered in thick beef stew. It's a family favorite! Now, I can make it at home!
