Boxty (Potato Griddle Cakes) (Irish)

1/2 lb Raw potato

1/2 lb Mashed potato

1/2 lb Plain flour

1 x Milk

1 ea Egg

1 x Salt and pepper

Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper and flour. Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter that will drop from a spoon. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan. Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread... . An old poem says: . Boxty on the griddle, boxty in the pan, if you can`t make boxty, you`ll never get a man. . (The accuracy of the poem is uncertain.)
