Kale Boxty (Potato Pancakes)

Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound yukon gold potatoes cubed
  • 1 pound yukon gold potatoes grated
  • 1 cup finely chopped red kale leaves
  • 2 green onions minced
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ghee

Instructions

  • Place the cubed potatoes in a medium pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring to a low boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash.
  • Place the grated potatoes in cheesecloth and squeeze to extract excess moisture. Combine with the mashed potatoes, kale, green onion, eggs,and coconut milk.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add to the potato mixture and stir until combined.
  • Heat the ghee in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add large spoonfuls of the potato mixture to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

If using a thick-skinned potato (like Russet or Idaho) peel before mashing and grating.
