Boxty
Boxty (pronounced: /ˈbɒksti/) is a traditional Irish dish made of potatoes. The name 'Boxty' is derived from the Irish phrase arán bocht tí meaning "poor-house bread".
Etymology
The term 'Boxty' is believed to have originated from the Irish phrase arán bocht tí, which translates to "poor-house bread". This term was used to describe a type of potato bread that was commonly consumed by the poor in Ireland. Over time, the phrase was anglicized to 'Boxty'.
Preparation
Boxty is prepared by grating raw potatoes and mixing them with mashed potatoes. The mixture is then combined with flour, baking soda, and sometimes buttermilk, to create a dough. This dough is then shaped into a flat cake and fried on a griddle. Some variations of Boxty may also include additional ingredients such as onions or chives.
