Irish Potato Cake (Boxty)

1/2 pound potatoes, unpeeled
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and grated
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub the unpeeled potatoes and prick them several times with a fork; place onto a baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove, cool, and peel. Mash the potatoes with the buttermilk. Stir in the grated raw potato, flour, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop the potato mixture into the skillet to make 3 inch cakes. Fry until golden and crisp, turning once, about 5 minutes per side.

Easy Potato Soup

4 tablespoons Butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups Onions -- diced
4 cups Potato -- diced
1 Carrot; coarse grated -- 1-2
2 cups Water
1 1/4 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Dried dill weed
3 cups Milk
2 tablespoons Fresh chopped parsley
1/4 cup Instant potato flakes or Potato buds

In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Saute the onions until golden. Add the potatoes, carrots, water, salt, pepper, and dillweed.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes (or longer if you want the potatoes creamy).

Easy Potato Candy


2 (1 lb.) boxes powdered sugar
1/2 c. hot mashed potatoes, drained
1 sm. jar crunchy peanut butter

Mix sifted sugar into potatoes a little at a time by hand. (Don't panic when potatoes liquify as the first sugar is added. This is what it's supposed to do. Just keep adding sugar until it is pastry consistency.) Sprinkle wax paper with additional powdered sugar. Take baseball-sized ball of mixture and roll out like pastry. Spread with peanut butter and roll like a jelly roll. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap.
