Instructions: Cut 2 potatoes into cubes; cook potato cubes and 1 teaspoon salt in boiling water to cover 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash with a potato masher; set aside.

Shred remaining 2 potatoes; press between layers of paper towels to remove excess water.

Combine mashed and shredded potatoes in a large bowl; stir in remaining 1 teaspoon salt, onions, and next 4 ingredients. Gradually add flour to form a soft dough; shape into 12 patties.

Fry patties, in batches, in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: A side dish created with mashed and shredded potatoes, boxty (BOX-tee) is often served with applesauce.
