Irish Boxty is a potato pancake. Clare’s recipe came with a cute saying, “Boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan; if you can’t make boxty, you’ll never get a man.”
Bad news for Clare because she can’t make boxty. The pancakes were too thick and raw in the middle.
Colcannon is mashed potatoes with cooked greens folded in. And lots of butter!
Colcannon is pretty good! It may be a good way to get picky eaters (Eric and Destiny) to eat their leafy greens.
