Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup cooked potatoes, mashed
  • 1 cup shredded raw potatoes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to a small bowl; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes with grated raw potatoes. Stir in the flour mixture. Then, slowly add the buttermilk. Stir gently, being careful not to overmix. The mixture will be a firm, thick batter. Add additional buttermilk if needed.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Once melted, scoop batter and shape into a round pancake circle. Fry until the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and continue to cook until both sides are golden and evenly cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Adjust the heat if they brown too quickly. You want the raw potato to cook.
  • Serve garnished with sliced scallions, crème fraîche, or even Irish honey, if you can find it.
