BOXTY PANCAKES 
1 lb. raw potatoes
1 lb. (4 c.) flour
Salt & pepper
1 lb. (2 c.) cooked, mashed potatoes
4 oz. (1/4 c.) melted butter or bacon fat
1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
Milk

Peel the raw potatoes and grate into a clean cloth. Wring them tightly over a basin, catching the liquid. Put grated potatoes into a bowl and spread with the cooked, mashed potatoes. When the starch has sunk to the bottom of the raw potato liquid, pour off the water and scrape the starch on the potatoes. Mix well and sift the flour, salt and pepper on top. Add butter, bicarbonate of soda and enough milk to make a batter of dropping consistency. The pan or griddle is greased lightly and spoonfuls at a time are cooked over moderate heat, on both sides. Serve with butter and sometimes sprinkled with sugar.
