Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to very low temperature. Peel and grate 2 potatoes, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean cloth. Cut the other 2 potatoes into large pieces and cook them for 10-15 min in boiling water.

  2. 2

    Mash the cooked potatoes and mix with the grated potatoes, green onions, and flour.

  3. 3

    Beat the egg white until soft peaks form. Incorporate the milk and baking soda, then gently fold everything into the potato mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp butter and a little oil. Drop 3-4 spoonfuls of the mixture and cook for 3-5 min per side until golden brown. Keep warm in the oven.

  5. 5

    Grill the bacon slices and set aside. In a pan, melt butter with a little oil, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5 min. Cook the 6 eggs according to your preference.

  6. 6

    Stack the boxty with bacon and eggs, serve with the melted tomatoes on the side.

💡 Chef's Tip

The boxty mixture can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. The pancakes can also be cooked in advance and reheated for 20 min in a low oven on absorbent paper.
