Boxty

• 6 oz. peeled raw potato
• 2 oz. cooked mashed potato
• 4 oz. plain flour
• 8 oz. whole milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 0.5 oz. butter

Put flour, mashed potato, salt, and 6 oz. of the milk in a food processor or blender and combine. Remove the mixture to a mixing bowl,

Grate the raw potato into a clean cloth, squeezing excess water from the potatoes.

Add the grated potato to the mash mix and incorporate with a hand whisk (not the blender). It should have a nice dropping consistency like a good batter. Add as much more of the milk as necessary.

Heat a pancake pan to a medium heat, add the butter, allow it to melt.

Drop a ladle-full of batter to the pan and tilt so it covers the base. Cook gently for 3–4 minutes.

Turn the pancake over and cook for 2 more minutes.

The first pancake may stick. Don't worry; dump it, wipe the pan, and start again. It happens to even the most experienced boxty makers.

Serve boxty pancakes with bacon and a fried egg, or smoked salmon and crème fraîche.
