Boxty

Description
Boxty (Potato Griddle Cake) is a traditional Irish dish. In pre-famine times, potatoes were abundant in Ireland and were thus the main source of food. Boxty is usually served to accompany main meals.



Ingredients

 * 1/2 lb raw potato, grated

Directions
In a bowl, mix the grate and mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper and flour. Add egg and enough milk to make batter that will drop from a spoon. Scoop tablespoonfuls and drop one by one on a hot griddle or frying pan. Cook for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with apple sauce.
