Boxty - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups potatoes, peeled, grated (about 1 kg)
1 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
6 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Squeeze grated potatoes as dry as possible in a tea towel.
In a bowl, combine the potatoes, flour, and salt. Stir in the milk gradually, using enough to make the mixture hold to together.
Let the mixture stand 1 hour.
Heat a 23cm - 25cm heavy frying pan until very hot. Drop in the butter and let it melt. Pat the potato mixture into the pan with a spatula, distributing it evenly.
Cook over medium heat until the underside is set and golden brown.
Slide the pancake onto a plate and invert it back into the pan.
Let the other side brown.
Serve the pancake straight from the pan with brown sugar and melted butter.
