Boxty

We had leftover mashed potatoes, and my husband requested boxty for the following evening. Personally, I don't care for it. My mother did sort of a strange version of it that was even worse as it relied on oil rather than butter. Still, I went ahead and made them, and the boys enjoyed them.

You Will Need:

1 cup mashed potatoes
1 cup grated potatoes (squeezed dry)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
milk to mix
butter to fry


Sift dry ingredients together. Add potatoes and beaten eggs. Add enough milk to make a batter. Drop by spoonfuls on a well buttered pan and cook over moderate heat a few minutes each side. Serve hot with extra butter.
