Irish Potato Cake

To one cup of mashed potatoes add a well-beaten egg, half a cup of flour, and half a teaspoonful of salt. Mix well, turn out on well-floured board, adding a little more flour for kneading, and form into a cake half an inch thick. Cut this cake into wedge-shaped pieces and brown on a hot griddle to a light color. Then cover with an inverted pan and cook on the back of the stove until it is crustyabout twenty minutes. It is to be eaten hot with butter.
