Boxty

boxty an Irish variation of potato bread made of grated raw potato, mashed potato, and flour. The name is probably an Anglicization of the Gaelic bacús, a term used to describe an oven or baking implement such as a griddle or pan.

Boxty pancakes and boxty dumplings are also prepared and the consumption of such was held to augment a girl’s marriage prospects:

Boxty on the griddle,

Boxty on the pan,

if you don’t eat your boxty,

You’ll never get a man!
