Preparation

Peel the cooked potatoes while they are still hot, drop into a bowl and mash immediately.
Grate the raw potatoes, add to the mashed potatoes with the flour and sifted bread soda.
Mix well, and add enough buttermilk to make a stiff batter.

Eat them straight from the pan with butter, crispy rashers or pure Irish honey.
