- The old generation of people just barely remember the use of boxty or buck bread. It was usually made in the following manner:
Potatoes were washed, peeled and grated on a hand made grater. The pulp was then mixed with a small quantity of flour as binding material and the whole worked up into a cake after the addition of salt and a pinch of soda. A griddle was used for baking and the bread was eaten hot with a generous supply of butter.
