BOXTY
 
1 lb. raw potatoes
1 lb. mashed potatoes
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
buttermilk
butter and sugar
 
Peel the raw potatoes and grate them. Place in a tea towel and
squeeze as much liquid out of them as you can, saving the liquid
in a bowl. Let the liquid stand while doing the next step. Mix the
grated potatoes and the mashed potatoes. When the potato starch
settles out from the liquid, pour off the water and add the starch
to the potatoes. Add the salt, flour and baking soda and mix all
well. Add enough buttermilk to make a consistency like thick
pancakes. Beat well and let the batter stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
Heat and grease a large frying pan. Drop the batter into the pan
by spoonfuls. Fry on both sides. Serve with butter and sugar.
