Boxty


submitted by rcoen
from Tipperary, Ireland

Potato Griddle Cakes, Ireland
Serves 8

1/2 lb Raw potato
1/2 lb Mashed potato
1/2 lb Plain flour
Milk
1 Egg
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.

That poem doesn't influence me, however -- as I am a man, myself.
