For best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets for the grated raw potatoes. Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches a pancake-like consistency. Serve immediately for the crispiest texture. Boxty can be reheated, but they are best fresh from the skillet. Experiment with different toppings! Sour cream, chives, or even a dollop of apple sauce can complement the savory flavor of the boxty.
