ABOUT COOKING POTATOES
Potatoes Boiled,

Wash them, but do not pare or cut them,
unIcS, they are very large. Fill saucepan
half full Of potatoes Of equal size, or the
small ones will be done to pieces before the
large ones are boiled enough, (orm0ke them

rs much cold water rs will Covcrthcm about
an inch they are sooner boiled and more
savory, than when drowned in water Most
boiled things are spoiled by having too lit
tie water, but potatoes are often spoiled by
too much; they must merely hc covered,
and little allowed for waste in boiling
so that they may be just covered al the
finish.
Set them ON q moderate fire till they boil,
then take them off, and put them by the
side Of the fire to simmer slowly til they are
soft enough to admit a fork, placc no de

happen 10 some potatoes when they are not
half done, and the insidcs quite hard) Then

done enough, they will become waNy and
watery) uncover the saucepan, and set il at
such a distance from the fire as will secure
it from burning their supertluous moisture
will evaporate, and the potatoes will bcper-
tcctly dry and mealy.
You may atterward place napkin, folded
up to the size of the saucc-pan's diameter
over the potatoes, to keep them hot and
mealy till wanted.
This method of managing potatoes is in
every respect equal to steaming them anc
they are dressed in half the time.
There are such an infinite variety of sort,
and sizes of potatoes, that it is impossible tl
say how long they will take doing the best
way is to try them with a fork. Moderate
srzed potatoes will generally be done enough
in fifteen or twenty minutes, 49, Gsrmorfe31
