Boxty Blend, Potato Pancakes from the Emerald Isle (Gluten Free)

In the misty hills of Mayo, Ireland, boxty stands as a culinary treasure with a rich history dating back centuries. Legend has it that boxty first originated as a way for Irish farmers to make the most of their limited ingredients, using leftover mashed potatoes to create a hearty and filling dish. As the farmer expertly flips the boxty on her pan, she shares stories of how this humble potato pancake sustained generations of hardworking farmers through long days in the fields and evenings by the fireside. Crispy and comforting, boxty is a delicious ode to the resilience and ingenuity of the Irish people, who transformed simple potatoes into a delicious and nourishing meal that embodied the spirit of resourcefulness and community of those who have called the Emerald Isle home.
