IRISH P0TAToEs.--The Irish people
are the greatest potato eaters in the
world, and know all about cooking that
fine esculent. We copy their mode OF
boiling potatoes from an Irish paper
"Put the potatoes. in q pot Or kettle
without lid or cover, and with water
just sufficient to cover them. After the
water comes nearly to boil pour it off
and replace it with cold water, into
which throw good portion of salt
The cold water sends the heat from the
service to the heart, and makes the po-
tato mealy. After they are boiled and
the water poured OFF, let them stand or
the fire fifteen minutes to dry"
