- How boxty bread was made. In oldern times the people used to make Boxty bread and this is the way they made it. They washed potatoes and got a side of an old tin can and a nail and put holes in the tin and got the potatoes and rubbed the potatoes up and down the tin until they were grated. Then they got a white cloth and squeezed the grated potatoes. They mixed boiled potatoes through the grated ones and got a grain of salt and mixed them together. They baked the boxty on a griddle. Their eyes were red blowing the fire to the boxty bread.
