- 1 cup cooked potatoes mashed
- 1 1/2 cups shredded raw potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- Butter for frying about 2 tablespoons
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Toss grated potatoes with flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Then mix in the mashed potatoes,
- Whisk the egg and buttermilk together and then mix into the potatoes. Be careful not to overmix the batter, which can make the potatoes tough. Add additional buttermilk if needed, but the mixture will be a thick batter.
- Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, scoop batter and shape it into a round pancake circle about 2 inches in diameter. Fry until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and continue to cook until both sides are golden and evenly cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve garnished with sliced scallions, crème fraîche, or even Irish honey, if you can find it.
