A grated raw potato and mashed potato pancake folded around a savoury filling, the Cavan-Roscommon dish that became Dublin's tourist-trade signature. The crisp outside and soft inside are the working test.
Boxty originated in the Irish midlands in the 1800s as a way to extend the potato through famine winters; the dish was a hybrid of grated raw potato, mashed potato and flour cooked on a griddle. The Dublin signature came in 1989 when Pádraic Óg Gallagher opened Gallagher's Boxty House in Temple Bar, formalising the savoury filled boxty as a restaurant plate. Today every Temple Bar tourist room serves a version; the canonical fillings are beef and Guinness, smoked salmon, or chicken with mushroom cream. The Irish proverb says 'boxty on the griddle, boxty on the pan, if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man.'
