Ingredients

  • 1 lb Potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup Cooked mashed potatoes
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Dairy-free milk (unsweetened)
  • 8 oz Smoked mackerel fillets
  • 1 medium Apple, diced
  • 1/4 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 lb of peeled and grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes with the 1 cup of cooked mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp of baking soda, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup of dairy-free milk. Mix everything together until just combined to form a batter.
  2. 2Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, approximately 350°F (175°C).
  3. 3Spoon about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each boxty. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the boxty is golden brown and cooked through. You should hear a gentle sizzle as they cook. Remove the cooked boxty from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  4. 4While the boxty is cooking, combine the 1 medium diced apple, 1/4 medium thinly sliced red onion, and 1 tbsp of lemon juice in a medium bowl. Toss gently to mix.
  5. 5Arrange the cooked boxty on serving plates. Top each serving of boxty with a portion of the 8 oz smoked mackerel fillets and a generous spoonful of the apple salad. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
