Next you get a basin and a grater made from a bottom of a can holed with a nail. "The potatoes are pealed nowdays but they were not long ago." When they are grated they are mixed with flour and a pinch of salt, then it is put into an oven and baked. It is generally baked at night and eaten the next day. It is cut round in the middle in half. Then the oven is put on fir and butter put in it. Next half of the cake is put onto it and left there untill it is toasted. Then it is taken out and eaten with butter. I often ate it and it is lovely.
