Boxy Recipe (Irish Potato Pancakes)
4 cups peeled and grated potatoes; 1 1/3 cups flour; 2 teaspoons salt; 6 tablespoons milk; 2 tablespoons butter; ¼ cup brown sugar; 4 tablespoons melted butter. Squeeze grated potatoes as dry as possible in a tea towel. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, flour, and salt. Stir in the milk gradually, using enough to make the mixture hold together. Let the mixture stand 1 hour. Heat a heavy frying pan until very hot. Drop in 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Pat the potatoes mixture into the pan with a spatula, distributing it evenly. Cook over medium heat until the underside is set and golden brown. Slide the pancake onto a plate and invert it back into the pan. Let the other side brown. Serve the pancake straight from the pan with brown sugar and melted butter. Yum! (3/27/2010)
