   Raw potatoes were mashed, and then strained through a cloth and all the water squeezed out of them. They were then mixed with a little flour and wetted with milk or ale to make a thick batter, which was baked like pancakes on a pan of butter.

   The rasp [?] used for grating the potatoes was a homemade device. It was made by punching holes with a nail in a piece of tin.

   The water which was strained off the raw potatoes, was boiled, and used for stiffening clothes as there was no starch used in those days.
