  1. (continued from previous page)
    When Boxty is being made some potatoes are boiled and some are not boiled. The boiled potatoes are peeled and mashed with a potato-masher. The raw potatoes are also peeled and they are grated. Then the water is squeezed off them into a little bag which is called a Boxty-Bag.
    Then the boiled potatoes and the raw potatoes are mixed with flour and a pinch of salt and milk is added also. Then it is put into the oven to bake.
