These Irish Zucchini and Potato Pancakes take me right back to my childhood when my Irish grandmother used to make a traditional potato pancake called Boxty. Boxty is usually made from a mix of mashed potato and grated raw potato, similar to a latke. This take on boxty is my go-to recipe when I need to use up leftover mashed potato and although I usually make them as a side dish for lunch or dinner, sometimes I cook them for breakfast with a fried or poached egg.
To make these, I first mix mashed potatoes, flour, milk, egg, butter together with some sea salt. Then I stir in the cheese and zucchini before frying them in hot oil until golden on each side. I tend to make these in batches of 2-3 pancakes at a time.
To make my Irish Zucchini and Potato Pancakes, you will need the following ingredients:
Mix the mashed potatoes, flour, milk, egg, butter, and sea salt together in a large bowl.
Add shredded potatoes, Cheddar cheese, and zucchini; stir until batter is well-combined.
Heat 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Drop large spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Repeat until you have used all the batter.
Serve as a side dish or with a fried egg for breakfast.

These Irish Zucchini and Potato Pancakes are legit! They totally remind me of my grandma's boxty, which I loved as a kid. Super easy to whip up when I've got leftover mashed potatoes, and even better with a runny egg on top. Made 'em for brunch and the fam loved it!
Superb recipe! Tastes just like my grandma's Boxty, loved it!
