Boil and mash half the potatoes, and grate the remaining half raw.
Squeeze the excess liquid from the grated potatoes and mix them with the mashed potatoes.
Add the wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Add the egg and ayran to make a batter that falls heavily from the spoon.
Melt half the butter in a pan and pour in small ladles of batter.
Cook the boxty for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned, adding the remaining butter for the second batch.
Serve hot without waiting; if they must wait, keep them on a wire rack.
💡 Tip: Squeeze the liquid from the grated potatoes, but do not remove all the starch; boxty should stay flexible rather than stiff.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Plate the boxty for breakfast with optional strained yogurt, dill, and fried eggs.
