Boxty is a traditional Irish potato cake, it is said to have originated during the Irish famine
Made with a mixture of cooked and raw potatoes, boxty was created as a way to use a few readily available ingredients to produce different results. It can take the shape of bread, pancakes or dumplings.
It can be fried on a griddle or baked in an oven.

How could this recipe generate during the Potato Famine? Thats when all the potatoes went bad. The Irish wouldn't be able to get these potatoes to make this cake.
