Cheddar and Herb Boxty

Boxty are traditional Irish potato pancakes, long associated with rural kitchens where potatoes were a daily staple. Recipes vary widely, but most combine mashed or grated potatoes with a little flour and egg to hold everything together. Crisp on the outside and tender within, these cheddar- and herb-laced boxty make a fine brunch dish—or a perfect companion to a hearty corned beef dinner.
