Lox Boxty

Directions

1. 1
   Ok. To make the boxy, you need mashed and shredded potatoes. Peel both potatoes.
2. 2
   Large chop one of them and put it into cold water that you bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of liquid, then drain and mash up with the water and some salt and pepper.
3. 3
   For the other potato, shred it with your cheese shredder, then squeeze out any liquid as you move the shredded potato to the bowl of mashed potatoes.
4. 4
   Add in the egg, flour, and lox and mix it up. Season.
5. 5
   In a big frying pan, heat up a good drizzle of oil over medium high heat. I used my hands to make about golf ball sized amounts in the pan, squishing them down pretty flat. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt and pepper. I like my boxty pretty small so that I can eat them as a snack, instead of pancake sized.
6. 6
   Let cook for 5 minutes or so until crispy, then flip them over and cook 5-8 minutes more. I think another flip over to the first side again for a few minutes is a good idea too..
7. 7
   Repeat with oil and boxty. I did 4 batches and made about 30 of them. They taste great with a leftover blue cheese dressing drizzle or that leftover 1/2 egg scrambled up.

   Boxty and lox. Love. True love.
