Easy Boxty (Potato Pancakes)

Growing up my mom used to make boxty potato pancakes for us when she had left-over mashed potatoes.  Sometimes they were creamy inside with crisp outsides and sometimes they were crispy all the way through. We didn't care, we just loved our potato pancakes!

My family gave me one of those Ancestry DNA kits for Christmas and to my surprise and delight, I learned that I was 33% Irish! My great-grandfather's last name was Dorrell, so it was pretty much believed anyway, but it was nice to have confirmation.

Boxty uses buttermilk, mashed potatoes, and grated potatoes. In an effort to reduce the number of ingredients and to make them quick and easy, I use only grated potatoes and leave out the buttermilk. For me, these potato pancakes taste a lot like mom's.
