You'll Need:

# 8 oz. (225g) plain flour
# 8oz. (225g) cooked potatoes, mashed
# 8 oz. (225g) raw potatoes, peeled
# 1 tsp salt
# oil for frying
# skimmed milk

Procedure:

# Grate the raw potatoes into a linen cloth # Wring them out over a basin thus catching a little of the liquid # Leave this liquid to settle until the water on top is clear # Place the grated raw potatoes from the cloth into another bowl with the mashed potatoes and mix # Pour off the water from the top of the potato liquid and pour the remaining starchy sediment on to the potato mixture in the other bowl # Add the salt and flour then mix the mixture well # Make a well in the middle of the mixture then add enough skimmed milk to give a batter of dropping consistency # Beat the mixture well then allow to stand for a couple of minutes before cooking # Heat a thick based frying pan or griddle and grease with a little oil # Drop spoonfuls of the potato batter into the pan and spread evenly # Allow the mixture to cook on the underneath then turn and cook on the other side # Serve warm with a sprinkling of sugar # For your Halloween party hide a coin, wrapped in greaseproof paper, in one of the pancakes
