This hearty breakfast dish elevates the traditional Irish potato pancake by stacking it high with crispy bacon, sausages, and a perfectly fried egg. It combines the comforting textures of fluffy mashed and crispy grated potatoes for the ultimate morning feast.
Place the grated raw potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed raw potatoes with the mashed potatoes, flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper.
Gradually stir in the buttermilk until a thick batter forms. If the mixture is too stiff, add a splash more buttermilk.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausages and bacon until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Wipe out the skillet if necessary, add 2 tablespoons of butter, and return to medium heat.
Spoon the potato batter into the pan to form 4 large pancakes. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Cook the boxty pancakes for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and fry the eggs to your desired doneness.
To assemble, place a warm boxty pancake on a plate, top with sausages and bacon, and finish with a fried egg. Garnish with chives if desired.
