Method

  1. 1

    Melt half the butter in a pan and cook the onions for 15-18 minutes until deep golden and sweet.

  2. 2

    Peel and finely grate the raw potatoes, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Mix with the mashed potato, flour, buttermilk and a pinch of salt to a thick batter.

  3. 3

    Melt the remaining butter in a large frying pan and cook the boxty as 4 large thin rounds, 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Scatter the cheddar and caramelised onion over one half of each warm boxty round, fold over and press gently so the cheese melts.

  5. 5

    Serve warm.
