First the potatoes were washed and the skin taken off. Then they were grated. Next it was put into a little bag called a "boxty bag" and the water squeezed out. While this was being done they had a pot of potatoes boiling on the fire. When these were boiled they were peeled and bruised so as to take all the lumps out of it. This was mixed with the other potatoes, salt and butter were added. When it was well mixed it was spread thin on a pan. After a few minutes it was turned and after another few minutes it was taken up and another one put on. This was continued until all the boxty was baked. They ate that for their dinners.

How Boxty is made
Boxty is made in many ways. I know two ways for making it, to boil it or to bake it.
The way the boiled boxty is made is, first of all you get potatoes and wash them. Then you put half of them down to boil and leave the other half aside for a few minutes. After a while you get a grater and you grate them into a basin and when the other potatoes are boiled you mix all up together and put flour, salt and caraway seeds with it. Then you have a pot of water boiling and you make little cakes out of the mixture and put them into the pot of water and in three quarters of an hour you will have boxty.
