my great-grandparents came from co. armagh to canada in the 1920s, and this video has solved a boxty mystery that's been vexing me for more than a decade. my mom tells me her granny used to 'cut slices off of loaves of boxty', but she didn't learn how to make them. until this video i had only seen the batter style of boxty recipes and i was starting to doubt whether i remembered my conversations with my mom right! this matches her descriptions of my great-gran's boxty perfectly. armagh isn't included in the area the presenter describes, but if it's found in cavan and monaghan it doesn't seem unlikely to me that some households in armagh would be doing similar thank you for uploading this video -- i'm going to try to revive the family boxty tradition :)
Many different recipes. My mother's way was a little different, but the essentials are there. Raw potato, cooked potato. Armagh is a border county i think so im sure they have a version. My father from Tipperary had never heard of it until he met Mom.
Excellent. Im more familiar with boxty as a loaf from the oven. My mother rip, from Fermanagh taught me as a child to make it. Im 63 now, in California and people love boxty. Ty for this recipe!
My family are from cootehill co cavan, l love boxty always had it for breakfast when home for the holidays etc. Its one of my favourites as well as cabbage potatoes and bacon, colcannon, soda bread, potato farls l could go on. 💚
Had two lovely Boxty pancakes yesterday evening. Being from Tyrone, we don't make Boxty, instead we get Purdy Pudding, surely the closest thing to edible putty ever devised by the hand of man? No two ways about it, we got the short straw when it came to who got Boxty and who got Purdy Pudding. So do you make it all year round, or is it, like our Purdy Pudding, a Halloween dish only?
My husband is from Omagh and he is a big "Purdy Pudding " fan. He had never heard of boxty until my Fermanagh born Mom made him some. So now, every year...in the fall.
Have you ever realized you’re essentially taking a potato peeling it boiling it combining with more potato boiling it again and then making it into the shape of a potato?

Finally found an irish video with actual irish people cooking irish food.....-Took me 15 minutes to find this!
Thanks for posting!
Pity it's NOTHING LIKE the boxty videos that all the other Irish made.... NOTHING like normal boxty.

That’s quite different from other recipes, thanks for sharing 🐨 Cheers from Australia.
Yes. VERY different 🙄
Because it’s correct for the boxty dumpling. Pan boxty and boxty loaf are different but not very different.
Amazing. Thank you for this.
Wringed as much water as possible out of the grated potatoe. Paul said boil it for an hour, after 15 minutes it broke apart.
Love it, every time we go to Ireland we eat it
thank you so much for sharing xx

All year, tis central to a real Irish fry in the counties he mentioned

💓 it proper boxy brilliant video
It's very popular with the 10 people from Cavan.
Yes I am a Dubliner.
…and a bollix
I bought your boxy wow delicious 😋 I’m addictive to it now
How much potato’s do you use thanks
Hallo, how can we buy your boxty ?????
Greeting from Germany
Send me some Knodle, and I will send you some boxty ;)
so no flower or baking powder to your recipe
He said it is a gluten free version, thats why there is no flour. Traditionally I think flour is definitely added to boxty.

AGOA
Mine had a fluffy sort of look after boiling. What would have caused this. Thanks
Anis Smith
Mine were the same! Would love to know why
Knead it really well, more than is shown in the video. It makes it really stick together
is there any flour in this?
Carl O Samhraidh
No Carl, it is just made of potatoes.
Did you see any flour 🙄 would it be gluten free if he added flour
@@marcmcguckian751 you can use gluten free flour
If you put Low Salt into your food there is something wrong with you!! It tastes like ass!
