-------- ------------ --------------------------------
      1/2 pound         Raw potato
      1/2 pound         Mashed potato
      1/2 pound         Plain flour
                         Milk
    1      each          Egg
                         Salt and pepper

Grate raw potatoes and mix with the cooked mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper
and flour. Beat egg and add to mixture with just enough milk to make a batter
that will drop from a spoon. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle or
frying pan. Cook over a moderate heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve
with a tart apple sauce: or as part of an Ulster Fry, with fried bacon, fried
sausage, fried eggs, fried black pudding, fried bread, fried soda bread...
