Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes) with Bangers in a Guinness Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Boxty (Irish Potato Pancakes) with Bangers in a Guinness Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Irish style potato pancakes stuffed with sausage in a tasty Guinness mushroom and onion sauce!

While planning your St Patrick’s Day menu don’t forget about breakfast! Start St Patrick’s Day off right with some boxty, an Irish style potato pancakes! Boxty is great all by itself, I mean what’s not to love about potato pancakes that are fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside, but why not suff them full of some thing tasty like sausage and a guinness mushroom and onion gravy? The pancakes themselves are super easy to make, consisting of shredded potato, mashed potatoes, flour and milk (I like to add cheese!) that is mixed and then cooked just like any other pancake! The gravy is also pretty easy to make where you simply saute some onions and mushrooms, add Guinness, dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce to make the gravy and you’re good to go! This would be a great dinner or breakfast and since I’m thinking breakfast I would be remiss if I did not top it with a fried egg with a runny yolk! I don’t know about you but I can’t think of a better way to start St Patrick’s Day than with these boxty stuffed with bangers in a guinness mushroom and onion gravy!

    I’ve never cooked Irish food before, so this was a fun learning experience. The potato pancake came out great, and I added the optional cheese and egg which took it to the next level. I also used German bratwurst instead of English or Irish bangers because it was all I could find at the moment. Hopefully, I can find them next time because they might have very different flavors. I will also be trying it out with beef broth next time as I’m not a big stout fan to begin with. Looking forward to making this again
