Boxty Irish Pancakes

Boxty Irish Pancakes combine fluffy mashed potatoes with grated potatoes for a delicious potato treat. So good for your Saint Patrick’s Day brunch, breakfast or anytime treat. Enjoy all the Emerald Isle Recipes from #OurFamilyTable.
I’ve been making potato pancakes more like latkes for as long as I can remember. Fortunately I’m always in for trying anything potato!
So when I heard about Boxty Pancakes, I was all in! These lighter way to eat potato pancakes blends mashed with grated raw potatoes for sort of a cross between a pancake and a hash brown. If you love potatoes as much as I do, give these a try!

Boxty Irish Pancakes
You can use fresh cooked potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes for equally great results.
In my version I cooked russet potatoes whole. Then I chilled the potatoes, peeled and mashed those with the grated raw ones, eggs, flour, sauteed green onion in butter, salt and baking powder.

Skillet Shrimp Boil #OurFamilyTable

Posted on January 22, 2023 by Cindy Kerschner

Skillet Shrimp Boil takes Low Country Boil to the next level. All the familiar flavors appear in an easy to make one pan dish.
Skillet Shrimp Boil

This week Our Family Table is celebrating Southern Food. Thanks Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures for hosting our event.

When I was competing in Alabama I got to experience Low Country Boil at a charity event for Operation Barbecue Relief. It seemed like a strange concoction of shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and onions thrown together in a pot and boiled. It was delicious! The flavors mix so well together. A bit cajun, a bit from the field, local seafood, native cuisine.
I decided to share my take on this meal with my family. Only I needed a pescatarian version for my grandson. Hence, Skillet Shrimp Boil.

    December and January holidays are over but there are more to come. February is just around the corner. Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras are on the horizon!

    No matter how you celebrate either or both occasions, there is always room for ice cream.

    Van Leeuven

    Van Leeuven is offering 4 new flavors that fit perfectly into any any scenerio.

    Limited Edition French style Champagne, Red Velvet, Chocolate Covered Strawberry and King Cake are ready to jump in!

    Why French Ice Cream?
    French ice cream contains twice the amount of egg yolks than standard ice cream. The extra yolks make a creamier, richer, delicious treat. Van Leeuven uses the best natural ingredients. Made in USA, this NYC started in 2008.

    (Courtesy of Van Leeuven)
    Four new flavors that will be sold exclusively at 3,500 Walmarts nationwide started December 26 for a 10-week rotation in all 50 states. Here’s the rundown on our new festive flavors for the next set of holidays ahead:

    🥂Champagne: Exactly what it sounds like. Champagne ice cream for the perfect FROZEN toast.
    🎭King Cake: Sweet cream ice cream with yellow, green and purple swirls and cinnamon blondie cake pieces.
    ❤️Red Velvet: Red cream cheese ice cream with brownie pieces throughout.
    🍓Chocolate Covered Strawberry: Chocolate ice cream with strawberry pieces mixed in. (Romantic, right?)
