This is a wonderful way to use up left over potatoes. This recipe from a good ol Co.Cavan woman my mother in-law, her mother would make these on a Saturday morning, on a cast iron griddle over a open hart fire . So while she was staying with us I decided to make for her as a surprise. she also told me that the old saying was "if you couldn't cook Boxy sure you'll never get a man"...so there you go all you single ladies lets get cooking..... ;0
