- First the potatoes were washed. Then they were greated into a basin. After that they were wrung, and the water of them was kept, and starch was made out of it. Then the boxty was put into a basin to which some salt and sugar were added. Then all were mixed up together and made into a cake. Then it was put into the oven and baked by the fire-side for a few hours. There is not so much boxty made now as in former days. It is very bad to eat too much boxty.
