Instructions: Grate raw potatoes, using large holes of a box grater. Place grated potato in center of a clean kitchen towel; gather up edges and squeeze to eliminate as much water as possible. Dump potato into a large bowl and stir in mashed potatoes.

Beat egg, milk and butter together with fork or whisk. Stir into potatoes.

Stir flour, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients to potato mixture and stir to combine. Try to make a dough that will hang together.

Flour your hands, transfer dough to center of baking sheet, and pat lightly to flatten it into a 7 inch round. Ideally, it should be shaped so that it is slightly raised in the center. Score a large X into the surface with a sharp knife and brush top with milk or cream.

Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve. This bread, known as boxty, is excellent right out of the oven but also can be baked several hours ahead.
