To start my project off I decided to do something that would be acceptable as a breakfast. So I chose a meal called boxty. Boxty is pretty much the Irish version of a pancake but made out of a potato. To make this recipe you will need the following.

• 1 lb boiling potato, peeled
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 -tablespoons unsalted butter

To start off you should first wash your hands, and once done with that you should take a towel, paper towel just something you can lay in a bowl.

Once you have a cloth of some sort laying in the bowl you can start to shred the potatoes. ( I know the recipe said to peel the potatoes but I decided not to so it would add more flavor.)

Now once you have enough potatoes shredded up into the bowl you than wrap all of the shredded potatoes up in the cloth and than you squeeze it so all of the liquid that is in there leaves the cloth.

Once you have squeezed as much of the liquid out as you can, you than put all of the potatoes back into the bowl.

Now that you got your potatoes back into the bowl you need to peel an onion.

Once you got the onion peeled you than chop it in half and than begin to dice it up.

 

After dumping the onions into the bowl with the potatoes you than grab your salt and put half of a teaspoon into the mixture.

Than after the salt comes another 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper.

 

Than after the salt and pepper you add a 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.

Than once you get all of your spices into it than it is time to put two eggs in as well.

Than after the two eggs we add two table spoons of flour.

Than you mix thoroughly until you have something that looks similar to this.

Once it is mixxed to what you think is well enough you than make a patty out of some of it.

Always butter up your pan so your food dosent get stuck to the pan.

Than start grilling the patty.

I started off using a normal pan but than realized if i wanted a more crispier one I should be using a cast iron pan

This was the final product. I will say it was pretty good actually if you have been to Denny’s breakfast place and had their hash browns before they taste pretty similar and are the same texture. Some recipes told me to add some mashed potatoes. Next time I’m gonna do that because it would had made the patty way easier to handle, it was falling apart most of the time.
