  1. Boxty Bread

    Share Share Post
    Boxty was made from new potatoes and flour. The new potatoes were peeled and sliced + were then ground finely in a "boxty grater". Flour + buttermilk were then added and the contents were baked on a griddle.
    Boxty Graters were made and sold by travelling tinkers.
    Boxty was Halloween dish some forty years ago in the Broomfield district of South Monaghan.
