    Then flour and salt is added and the potatoes well mixed up. The dough is made into a round cake about half an inch thick. It is cut into four quarters or farleys. Then they are put to bake on a hot griddle or pan. When cooked they are split, well buttered and eaten hot. If any are left they are split and fried next morning with a rasher or in butter. Or sometimes they are toasted over the tongs under which are red coals. In some parts of Ireland at Christmas, currants and sugar are put into the potato cake.
