  1. How Boxty Bread Was Made

    Share Share Post
    How boxty bread was made. In oldern times the people used to make Boxty bread and this is the way they made it. They washed potatoes and got a side of an old tin can and a nail and put holes in the tin and got the potatoes and rubbed the potatoes up and down the tin until they were grated. Then they got a white cloth and squeezed the grated potatoes. They mixed boiled potatoes through the grated ones and got a grain of salt and mixed them together. They baked the boxty on a griddle. Their eyes were red blowing the fire to the boxty bread.
