This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
This boxty recipe (Irish potato pancakes) is kid friendly for St Patrick’s Day! We serve it with grilled chicken tenders so kids can enjoy Irish recipes during the holiday too!
On St Patrick’s Day, most make corned beef and cabbage, Shepherd’s pie, Irish Stew, and even Colcannon. We try to limit red meat in our house so things like corned beef and sausage are rarely served, we prefer chicken. Not to mention many of us suffer from digestive issues, chicken is much easier to digest. I like to serve a traditional Irish appetizer called Boxty and serving it with some deliciousCooked Perfect Fire Grilled ChickenTenders!
For St Patrick’s Day, I also make colcannon and am sure to make enough mashed potatoes to make some boxty. Adults and kids love handheld food and you can make the Irish Boxty as big or as little as you like.
If I make a big one I can cut it into pieces like a pizza, or if I make small ones kids can have one without needing to cut. They can just grab whatever they like, some chicken tenders and boxty, please!
What is Boxty?
Boxty is an Irish Potato Pancake. A traditional boxty recipe is fried in a pan until the potato boxty is golden brown on both sides.What’s in a boxty recipe?Boxty is made up of mashed potatoes, raw grated potato, flour, buttermilk, salt and pepper. Some also put eggs into their boxty recipe. While boxty is a potato pancake, that doesn’t mean it’s for breakfast, it’s actually traditionally served as an appetizer or side dish with dinner.
