Boxty is different from other potato pancakes or latkes when you bite into one and witness the crispy hash brown-like outside and soft, dough-like center.
What's Boxty? Boxty, an Irish potato pancake, is made from mashed and shredded raw potatoes.
The inside of these oil-fried potato pillows from heaven is soft like a pancake but crispy on the outside. Buttermilk, flour, and baking soda puff them up in oil and give them a deep golden crust.
