I will try out this old country recipe with much interest.
It reminded me of my Dad in Tasmania, Australia whose grandparents were part Irish & he used to make a potato bread on top of the stove, I think. He grated the raw potatoes, then put the grated potato in a tea towel & squeezed heaps of potato juice out, until it was quite dry looking. Then he patted it all into a large dinner size fry pan. I'm assuming he put lard or dripping/vegetable oil or butter in pan first. I was only very young & I never thought he would die & be no more - as a child I always thought i'd be able to get this recipe off him. I recall he said he ate it as a child in the early 1920s. He was born in 1915 & grew up in a very different lifestyle to us kids who grew up in the 1960s & 70s, something he just couldn't come to terms with & I wish things weren't so hard for him as he got older. I wish i'd gotten all the old recipes off my Dad & my Mother. But kids are just dumb kids in every generation.
Does anyone know of this recipe & what I'm missing in the recipe please? I'd love to know it's history & know how to cook it again so I can pass it down to my 7yo grandson. Some things should neve go out of fashion!
Cheers from Down Under
