4. 4

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.

6. 6

   Spoon the potato mixture into the pan to form pancakes, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Remove the boxty pancakes from the pan and keep warm.

8. 8

   Serve the boxty with slices of smoked salmon on top, a dollop of crème fraîche, and a sprinkle of chopped chives.

   Garnish with lemon wedges to be squeezed over the salmon before eating.
