Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is not actually a bread, but more of a pan-fried potato cake or pancake from Ireland. Eat as a tea-time snack with preserves or cheese, or put mushrooms or even sautéed lambs kidneys on top for supper.

You will need floury potatoes - King Edwards or Cara - for the mash.
450g potato, peeled and grated
450g dry mashed potato (just boiled potatoes, without milk or butter)
220g self-raising flour, sifted
150-200ml milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for cooking
Squeeze the grated potato in a dry cloth to remove all the starch. Mix with the dry mash and the sifted flour. Gradually add the milk (you may not need all of it) to form a thick batter. Season.
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan and add a couple of large tablespoons of the batter. Fry the mix on a low heat for around 4 minutes on either side, until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the mix and re-heat them in a medium oven to serve.
