Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups grated raw potatoes, grated
• 1 Cup all-purpose flour
• 1 Cup leftover mashed potatoes, mashed
• 1 Large egg
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) skim milk
• 0.25 Cup olive oil, divided
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) green onions, minced (optional)
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) thyme leaves, minced (optional)
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) sour cream
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

Steps

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Grate the raw potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss the grated potatoes with the flour until well coated. Stir in the mashed potatoes until combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Pour this mixture into the potato mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add Flavor Enhancements: If using, fold in the chopped green onions and thyme leaves for added flavor.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat half of the olive oil over medium-high heat.
6. Form and Cook Patties: Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the skillet, forming patties about 2 inches in diameter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain and Finish: Remove the patties and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and potato mixture.
8. Serve: Top each boxty with a small dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh thyme or green onions. For an extra touch of richness, melt a little unsalted butter over the top before serving.
