Boxty (potato griddle cakes) (irish)

1/2 lb Raw potato
    1/2 lb Mashed potato
    1/2 lb Plain flour
      1 x  Milk
      1 ea Egg
      1 x  Salt and pepper
 
  Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes.  Add salt,
  pepper and flour.  Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to
  make a batter that will drop from a spoon.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a
  hot griddle or frying pan.  Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on
  each side.  Serve with a tart apple sauce:  or as part of an Ulster Fry,
  with fried bacon, fried sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried
  bread, fried soda bread...

  An old poem says:
  .
  Boxty on the griddle,
  boxty in the pan,
  if you can't make boxty,
  you'll never get a man.
