Full Irish Breakfast

Sausages

Hash Browns

Black Pudding

Butter (or Oil)

Bacon Slices

Mushrooms (, cleaned and quartered)

Large Tomato (, quartered)

Eggs

Baked Beans ((14 ounces 400 grams))

Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.

Place the sausages, hash browns and black pudding slices onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment (for easy clean up) and bake them until ready. The time will vary depending on the ingredients you use so keep an eye on them. You might need to take out some of them earlier.

About 10 minutes into baking, turn the sausages, hash browns and black pudding around for even cooking. Heat a little butter/oil in a large skillet/frying pan and fry bacon slices until cooked through. When ready, wrap them in a sheet of aluminum foil to keep them warm.

In the same skillet/frying pan, fry the mushrooms and tomato (add more oil/butter, if needed). When ready, wrap them in the aluminum foil.

Check the items in the oven – some of them may be already done. If yes, take them out.

Clean the skillet with paper kitchen towel and add little oil. When hot, crack the eggs in and fry on low/medium heat until they look to your liking. Using a lid will speed up the cooking process.

Finally, heat up the beans (either in a microwave or in a skillet/frying pan).

When ready, serve all the ingredients either on a baking tray, in a frying pan or plated individually.

Best served warm!

Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake with a crispy exterior and soft, tender interior. Made from a combination of mashed and grated potatoes, this recipe is lightly flavored with buttermilk and black pepper, then pan-fried to golden perfection. Served with scallions and sour cream, boxty makes a comforting and hearty side dish or breakfast option that captures the essence of Irish cuisine.

Classic Irish Boxty Pancakes Recipe

potatoes

kosher salt, divided

(120 g) all-purpose flour

baking soda

tsp. black pepper

(180 mL) buttermilk

scallions

Sour cream,

Boil and mash potatoes

Peel one of the potatoes and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Place in a pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower to medium and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until tender. Drain and immediately pass the potatoes through a sieve, ricer, or food mill to achieve a smooth mash. Allow the mashed potatoes to cool completely, about 30 to 60 minutes.

Grate and dry the second potato

While the mashed potatoes cook and cool, peel the second potato and grate it on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap the grated potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it over the sink or a bowl to remove as much moisture as possible. Discard the liquid.

Make the batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, black pepper, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Add both the cooled mashed potatoes and the grated potatoes. Stir to combine. Gradually stir in the buttermilk, 1/4 cup at a time, until a thick batter forms that holds together well but isn’t too wet.

Heat the skillet and cook the boxty

Preheat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Once the butter melts and begins to foam, use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to drop four rounds of batter into the pan, spreading them slightly if needed. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottoms are crisp and golden. Flip them and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer finished boxties to a wire rack to keep crisp. Repeat the process with the remaining butter, oil, and batter.

Serve

Divide the boxties among plates. Garnish with sliced scallions and serve with sour cream on the side for dipping or spreading.
