Happy St. Patricks!

Today is green day! Our boss graciously allowed us to wear green shirts today if we wished. So I sported my Irish heritage with a green shirt. I'm also going to try a new Irish recipe tonight for supper. Here it is if anyone else would like to try it.

Irish Boxty

1 cup grated raw potatoes
2/3 c. all purpose flour
2/3 c. leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg
1 tsp skim milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 1/2 TB olive oil

Heat the olive oil on the stove. Toss the grated potatoes with the flour. Wisk together the egg and skim milk; add mashed potatoes and then add to the potato flour mixture. Season to taste

Form patties about 2 inches in diameter and fry in olive oil on both sides; 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel and serve warm.

I'll let you know how it is! Today is a beautiful day here as well! 70 degrees!!
