Boxty - from a secret cookbook 'Broth & Blarney' by Anne Morris.

1 lb potatoes - peeled and grated

You must grate em using a tin lid with holes made by hammering a nail through at 1/4 inch spacing - or use a regular grater. Experiment, try medium grade first :)

6 oz - plain flour

1/2 5mil tsp - baking powder

3/4 5mil tsp - salt

4 fluid oz - milk

Cooking oil OR

Any dripping, fat/lard etc...

Sieve flower, salt and baking powder together. Mix with grated pototoes, add milk to thicken the batter. Heat frying pan/skillet, add lots of oil. Pour batter onto pan/skillet. Cook on either side for 3/4 minutes or untill golden brown. Serve hot with a little butter on each slice.

Kinda like Pitza but not fattening and I've added partly cooked burger pattie meat to the batter. That is both nourishing and very very yummmmieeeeeee.

Book is not on Amazon, I already looked. I can get copies if any one wants them :)
