      Title: Boxty (Potato Griddle Cakes) (Irish)
 Categories: Irish, Vegetables
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
    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.)
