Description
A traditional recipe using leftover mashed potatoes and our signature ham recipe packed into convenient & modest proportions.
Ingredients
- 2, 6oz North Country Smokehouse Organic Ham Steaks, diced
- 3 peeled medium-sized Yukon potatoes
- 3 C leftover mashed potatoes
- 3 C all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ C buttermilk
- 1 ½ TSP baking soda
- Coarse sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Unsalted butter for frying
Cooking Instructions
- Grate potatoes onto a kitchen towel. Fold the four ends of the towel and twist over the sink squeezing out as much of the potato liquid as possible.
- Add the drained potatoes to a large bowl with the mashed potatoes, flour, buttermilk, baking soda, ham, salt and pepper. Mix until combined. If batter is too thick, add more buttermilk. If batter is too thin, add more flour. Mixture should be the consistency of soupy mashed potatoes.
- Add the butter to a 10” cast iron skillet and heat until its melted over medium-high heat.
- Pour about 1 ½ to 2 cups of the potato batter into the cast iron skillet, spreading it out with a ladle to flatten it. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Cook the boxty to 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip it over and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until golden brown throughout.
- Remove from the pan, slice into triangles and serve warm.
