How To Make bricin's boxty

• 
  Step 1
  Grate potatoes, place in a large piece of muslin and squeeze dry (don't squeeze potatoes too dry.)
• 
  Step 2
  Chop onion very fine, add to potatoes and mix well.
• 
  Step 3
  Beat the eggs and add the seasonings. Mix well through the 'spuds'.
• 
  Step 4
  Turn the griddle to 300F or heat a heavy frying pan. Using melted butter, grease the pan and drop in a little of the mix to make a tester and check for seasonings.
• Step 5
  To make a full boxty, drop in a good spoonful and pat gently using the back of the spoon until the mix resembles a pancake. Cook gently on each side for at least 3 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
• Step 6
  Chefs note: Boxty can be served with almost anything. As an accompaniment to a main meal or filled with fish, meat or vegetables and sauce. The Germans make a bosti that is very similar and serve it with pureed apple that is quite delicious.
