Boxty(Ash Wednesday Supper) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. raw potato
1 c. mashed potato
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. melted butter
1/2 c. milk

Preparation

Grate raw potato into a bowl.
Turn out onto a cloth and wring, catching liquid.
This will separate into a clear fluid with starch at the bottom.
Pour off the fluid and scrape out the starch.
Mix with grated and mashed potatoes.
Sieve the dry ingredients and mix in along with the melted butter.
Add a little milk if necessary to make a pliable dough.
Knead lightly on floured surface.
Divide into 4 parts and form large flat cakes. Mark each into quarters, but do not cut through and bake on griddle.
