1. Squeeze the grated raw potatoes through a tea towel to get rid of any liquid, and then mix this together with the mashed potatoes.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Add this to the potatoes and combine. Stir in the melted butter and season well with salt and pepper. Beat in the milk, adding extra if necessary to make a heavy batter. Set aside.

3. Meanwhile, heat a touch of oil in a large non-stick frying pan and pan fry the bacon rashers until crisp and golden on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Spoon the boxty mixture in blobs into the hot oil with the bacon juices, it is similar to that of drop scones. Fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked thorough.
