Savory Irish Potato Pancakes, loaded with Kerrygold Skellig cheese, fresh chives, and minced garlic for a delicious twist that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
It struck me recently that Jorden and I haven’t had a getaway…..of any kind…..since before we had kids. We’re talking about 9 years ago! We’ve definitely talked about it since then – in between pregnancies and babies – but we’ve never made it happen. Well….now that Myla is going on a year…..I think it’s time for that to change!
We have all kinds of ideas of where we’d like to go – somewhere warm, somewhere tropical, (anywhere but here!)….but the one place I keep coming back to is Ireland. Jorden spent some time there when he studied abroad in college, my parents took a trip there a few years ago, and one of my good friends recently went there with her entire family. I’ve heard enough about how beautiful and amazing it is from other people…..it’s time for me to experience it myself! Sounds realistic with four kids, right??
Okay, so I have no idea when we’ll make it to Ireland…..but it’s definitely high on my list. For now, I guess the next best thing to going there is…..the FOOD! To be honest, I haven’t had a lot of traditional Irish food. Even though I have a decent amount of Irish in me, I could probably count on one hand the number of Irish dishes I’ve eaten. But when I ran across a recipe for Irish Boxty, I knew it was one I had to try. Boxty is a traditional Irish potato pancake made with very simple ingredients. So….of course…..I decided to jazz it up a little.
What better way to jazz up potatoes than with cheese?? Especially Irish cheese! I loaded these babies up with Kerrygold Skellig, a sweet cheddar cheese made in Ireland. I tossed in some minced garlic, fresh chives, sea salt, and fresh ground pepper, topped it with an egg, and the result was nothing short of incredible. This dish would be perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner….and clearly perfect for St. Patty’s Day. Sláinte
