BOXTY (IRISH POTATO PANCAKES)
Boxty, breadlike potato pancakes that originated in Ireland as early as the late 18th century, were created as a resourceful way to transform less-than-stellar potatoes into a hearty side dish. Variations of these crisp, chewy potato pancakes abound, but most involve some combination of mashed potatoes, grated potatoes, flour, baking soda or baking powder; buttermilk or eggs are sometimes added for richness. Popular in pubs but also made at home, they're typically served as an accompaniment to stews and rich meat dishes. This recipe is adapted from "The Irish Cookbook" by Jp McMahon (Phaidon, 2020), who serves them in a more modern fashion, with smoked salmon, sour cream and pickled onions, which balance and brighten.

Steps:
- Prepare the pickled red onions: Slice the red onion thinly from stem to stem, then transfer slices to a small heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium, stirring occasionally, until sugar and salt dissolve, then pour on top of onions; set aside.
- Prepare the boxty: Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water; season generously with salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Peel half the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes, tossing the cubes into the water as you go. Once the water comes to a boil, continue to cook until potatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the diced potatoes boil, peel the remaining potatoes, then grate them coarsely using a box grater. Season the grated potatoes generously with 2 teaspoons sea salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, toss to coat, then transfer them to a clean, dry kitchen towel. Squeeze the grated potatoes over a sink to remove the excess liquid, then transfer them to a large bowl.
- Once the diced potatoes are soft, transfer them to a colander to strain, then transfer to the large bowl with the grated potatoes; mash until creamy, and mashed and grated potatoes are well combined.
- Pour the buttermilk on top of the warm potato mixture and stir briefly just to combine.
- Add the flour and baking powder and stir until thoroughly combined.
- In a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Working in batches, spoon in the potato mixture using 1/3 cup measure to form small 3- to 4-inch-wide pancakes, leaving at least 1 inch of space between pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining pancakes, adding more butter between batches as needed.
- Serve pancakes topped with pickled red onions, and smoked salmon and sour cream, if you like.

SMOKED WILD IRISH SALMON WITH CHIVE PANCAKES
What a delicious combination: smoked salmon and chive pancakes! This dish is part of Irish cook Kevin Dundon's dinner menu for St Patrick's Day that I was delighted to find just recently in the March 2005 edition of the BBC Good Food magazine. And I certainly won't be waiting for St Patrick's Day 2006 before I try it. He describes this as a 'prepare ahead starter': the pancakes are served at room temperature. One detail in this recipe, I suppose incidental, that really intrigued me was that he doesn't use commercial spray-on oil. A reminder that there really are alternatives to so many of the products that the advertisers try to foist upon us. He suggests a simple alternative, one I opted for years ago after reading that commercial spray-on oils contain carcinogenics. But I have rarely seen recipes that suggest this. I have already posted the side dish to Kevin Dundon's St Patrick's Day menu: his scrumptiously creamy Colcannon. Next I shall be posting the main course dish: Guinness & Honey Glazed Pork. All the courses in his St Patrick's Day - or ANY day - menu sound just SO delicious!

Steps:
- THE DRESSING: Place the wholegrain mustard in a bowl, using a whisk, slowly add the olive oil, then add a squeeze of lemon and set aside.
- THE PANCAKE MIXTURE: Mix together the eggs, flour, milk and chopped chives until smooth and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Heat a medium-sized non-stick pan over a high heat and using a piece of kitchen paper wipe the pan with some vegetable oil. Pour a ladleful of the pancake batter into the pan and swirl to cover the base. Cook for about 1 minute, then flip, cook for 30 seconds more, remove and place on greaseproof paper. Repeat until you've made all six pancakes, then set aside.
- TO SERVE: Arrange handfuls of salad leaves in piles on the side of each of six plates. Fold the pancakes into four and sit next to the leaves. Loosely drape two slices of smoked salmon over the leaves and pancakes. Tuck two slices of lemon and a few chives under the salmon, then drizzle the mustard dressing over everything and serve.
- Kevin Dundon's Notes for preparing this dish in advance: Make the pancakes the day before, stack them with a layer of greaseproof paper between each one and refrigerate.
- My Notes: When I make this dish, I am not going to try to track down smoked wild Irish salmon, delicious though it may be. I shall be making it with the best local smoked salmon available.
