I doubled the batch and made about 10 large pancakes. It did take a long time to make if you don't have instant mashed potatoes around, and mine were a little thicker than in the restaurant we had them in. We served them with a curry dish and got great reviews.

This took awhile to make because I didn't have the left over mashed potatoes but next time I do have left overs this is what I'll make with it! Very tasty and different than your average potato pancake.

I thought these were good and will make them again. I am Ukranian background and these reminded me of potato pancakes, which I love and find the potato pancakes on the lighter side as there is less flour in them than the Boxty; however, I will make the Boxty to have a traditional Irish meal on Saint Patty's Day or if I'm entertaining the Irish:) so I can serve the traditional meal. Thanks for the submission as I enjoy making and trying authentic receipes.

Wonderful dish! I added green onions for a bit of flavor and used shredded frozen hashbrowns.

Very good. Next time I plan to add a bit of onion, bacon and Cheddar cheese to the basic recipe.

Delicious! Fried these up for my husband's organization as a "heritage night" food and they were eaten up! Tastes similar to hash browns..yum! My only suggestion would be to use a little more oil. By the time I got to the last few, it started smoking a bit because the oil had run out!

This recipe was great!! I made it for St. Patrick's Day and everyone loved it. The only thing that I did differently was to add cheese and corned beef. Will definitely make again!! Thanks

Tasted like fried potatoe dough. It was good, but lacked any real flavor. Use salt!

I made this for St. Patrick's day because I wanted something Irish and I'd had it once at a restaurant. Yummy! I would take people's suggestions on how to season it though; my "salt and pepper to taste" always ends up a little bland. Still love it!

This was my first time making Boxty and it came out great! I elected to spice things up a bit more than the original recipe called for by adding some finely chopped green onions & garlic. I served them with some homemade honey-dijon sauce which was really good and I paired the Boxty with some oven-baked tilapia that I found the recipe for on Allrecipes.com...it was a wonderful St. Patty's Day dinner!!

I used roasted garlic instant mashed potatoes and added a little onion and garlic pepper. Outstanding texture and flavor. Served with rotisserie roast pork and cole slaw - there wasn't any left :) thanks for the posting.

Easy to make, especially if you use frozen shredded hashbrowns. It could use something to add to the flavor, and that was after I added some onion powder. Maybe some fresh onions or green onions would help. Will try next time.

Crisp on the outside. Tender on the inside. MMMMM! To make these up faster for a brunch, I par-poiled the shredded potatoes for 3 minutes in a big pot of water, then drained well before mixing with the rest of the ingredients. This way, I could cook them for a shorter time at a higher temp, so they were even crispier. You have to dry this recipe for your next brunch!

We just made this recipe and it is good! I will definately make this again with all of my leftover mashed potatoes. The texture was great. I am going to try it with some onions, shredded cheese and diced ham as well.

My dad is from Ireland, and I wanted to make him something special for his 71st b-day. He said it was a little different from what he remembers, but he did eat it. He said that there were different kinds of boxty, and that his mother would make it as one big patty in the pan, and then cut it up. He also said he remembers her boiling it. Thank you for allowing me to make my dad something to remind him of his youth!!

OMG!!! This Irish-Canadian gal loves her boxty..this is amasing! I only used 2 tablespoons of oil and I made 12 mini-boxty and they all came out golden brown and soft. Also I used spelt flour, I'm allergic to wheat (came out grand). Fed them to my sister and she said they reminded her of Ireland. We ate them with ketchup, but will definately come up with something a little more creative next time. Thanks!
