Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 cup Grated Raw Potato
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 medium Apple
  • 2 tbsp Dairy-Free Butter
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1Grate the 1 cup of raw potato. Place the grated potato in the center of a clean kitchen towel and twist the towel to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  2. 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of mashed potatoes, the 1 cup of grated raw potato (that you just squeezed dry), the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, the 1 tsp of baking powder, the 1/4 cup of dairy-free milk, and the 1/4 tsp of salt. Stir everything together with a spoon until it is just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. 3Prepare the apple compote by peeling and dicing the 2 medium apples. In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tbsp of dairy-free butter over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the diced apples, the 2 tbsp of brown sugar, and the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the melted butter. Stir to coat the apples.
  4. 4Cook the apple mixture, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are soft and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. 5Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Lightly grease the skillet with a tiny bit of dairy-free butter if needed, ensuring it doesn't smoke.
  6. 6For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancakes.
  7. 7Cook the pancakes for another 2-3 minutes on the second side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more dairy-free butter to the pan between batches if necessary.
  8. 8Serve the cooked boxty pancakes immediately, topped with the prepared apple compote.
