Boxty, An authentic Irish recipe

•1/2 lb raw potatoes
•1/2 lb mashed potatoes
•1/2 lb plain flour
•Milk
•1 egg
•Salt and pepper

Directions:
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 a tablespoonful onto a hot griddle or frying pan.

Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

***The recipe doesn’t say, but my mom used to make these and she called them potato cakes. Be sure and have some oil in your pan.
