Ingredients

  • 1 cup Potatoes, grated
  • 1 cup Potatoes, mashed
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 each Egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cups Apples, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. 1In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of grated Potatoes, 1 cup of mashed Potatoes, 1/2 cup of All-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of Milk, and 1 each Egg. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or whisk until a uniform batter forms.
  2. 2Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C). Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the 2 tbsp Butter in the skillet, spreading it to lightly coat the surface.
  3. 3Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, leaving at least 1 inch of space between them. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the edges appear set and the pancakes are golden brown on both sides.
  4. 4Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding 1/2 tablespoon of the 2 tbsp Butter to the skillet for each new batch until all the batter and butter are used.
  5. 5While the pancakes are cooking, combine the 2 cups of peeled and diced Apples, 1/4 cup Sugar, 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, and 1 tbsp Lemon Juice in a medium saucepan.
  6. 6Cook the apple mixture over medium heat (approximately 300-325°F / 150-160°C) for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The compote is ready when the apples are tender and the sauce has visibly thickened.
  7. 7Serve the warm boxty pancakes immediately, topped with the apple compote.
