    My Nan would make boxty equal parts mashed potatoes, raw potatoes flour, egg, and buttermilk. If you use regular milk add baking powder She was from Knock in co.Mayo
    You could go to Gallaghers, Boxty House in temple bar. Spectacular boxty dumplings, fries and a very thin boxty like a crêpe that they fill with food.

      I remember eating at Gallagher's Boxty in T.B. when in Ireland, so I searched for how to make them. It was so long ago I don't remember much about the boxty - the recipe in this video doesn't seem like what I had at Gallagher's

      @@violacrow yes she left out the mashed potatoes. Look up Gallagher boxy house and he has his recipes up on UA-cam. At Gallagher’s he will make the boxty thinner and wrap food in the boxty. He always uses equal parts mashed, rawpotato, and flour milk with an egg and baking powder some salt. I’ll put scallions in mine.
      I use buttermilk instead of regular milk. It taste better to me. It’s totally up to your preference.

    My Grandmother was from Leitrim and we used a bit of butter and sprinkle them with sugar.

    My mum was born and bred in Belfast, we never had these that I can remember, BUT, she did make soda bread, wheaten bread and fadge, I’m going to make some of these boxtys, they look fantastic ❤

      I remember having like a potato bread up there in Belfast with breakfast. It was like a quarter of a circle that was cooked on a grill.

      @@jgog59 yes, they were made on a griddle and then fried in a pan, they were called (probably still are) ‘fadge’ but that may have been a colloquialism :)

    I'm thinking those boxty would go good with a bit of maple syrup poured over them.

    I can’t eat eggs, so when I make boxty, I use buttermilk instead

    That's not true about Leitrim boxty, I'm in the middle of south Leitrim, grew up on boiled, baked and pan boxty. None of the 3 had cooked potato added. My mother is from north Leitrim and same as that. I remember my mother did get a recipe for boiled boxty from someone which had some cooked potato added and they were in wonder at that. Also, you would NEVER make boxty using a grater like that.

    This word sounds way to close to word we use in Barbados “boxie” and it has nothing to do with food😂
