Instructions: Heat the deep fat fryer to 170c.

1 Sieve the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre to break the egg into.

2 Add half the beer and whisk to form a smooth batter. Gradually whisk in the remaining beer and soda water. Leave to rest. Heat 1" oil in a large saute pan.

3 For the Boxty: Grate the remaining potato and onion and squeeze in a clean tea-towel to remove excess moisture. Place in the bowl with the mashed potato.

4 Break the egg into a small dish, beat and add to the potato mixture. Add 2-3 tbsp flour, season and mix well.

5 Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the saute pan and shallow fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

6 For the Salad: Shred the lettuce and place in a bowl with the watercress.

Deseed the pepper and slice lengthways. Add to the bowl of salad.

7 For the Prawns: Remove the head, shell and tail. Dip each prawn in the flour and batter, and deep fry for 3-4 minutes, turning once during cooking.
