Ingredients For irish parsnip cakes

  • 1 lb

  • 2 Tbsp
    all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp
    butter, melted
  • pinch of mace

How To Make irish parsnip cakes

  • 1
    In a saucepan, cook the parsnips in boiling salted water until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes to absorb stock. Drain and mash.
  • 2
    Add the flour, melted butter, mace, salt, and pepper to the parsnips and blend well.
  • 3
    Shape mixture into 4 evenly sized cakes. Lightly dredge in flour, pass through egg wash, then bread crumbs.
  • 4
    In a large fry pan over medium high heat, heat the oil. When hot, cook cakes on each side until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • 5
    Serve immediately, or transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in a preheated 300°F oven for 4 to 5 minutes longer.
