Time 51m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup self-rising flour
5 tablespoons milk
1 pound potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
8 ounces lamb's liver, cut into thin strips
8 slices bacon
6 ounces shredded cabbage

Steps:

  • Sift self-rising flour into a bowl; stir in milk. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated potatoes and mix in. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt 1 1/2 teaspoon butter with 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread a quarter of the potato mixture in the skillet; cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat 3 times with remaining butter, oil, and potato mixture. Stack potato pancakes on a plate and keep warm.
  • Mix all-purpose flour, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Roll liver strips in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  • Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the skillet. Cook and stir liver strips in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Cook bacon slices in the same skillet, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage; cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Serve warm potatoes pancakes topped with liver, bacon, and cabbage. Season with black pepper.

The boxty was good, but the liver was a bit too strong for me. I think I'll omit the liver next time.

This boxty dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The liver was a bit overwhelming and the bacon was too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
