An experienced housekeeper once
we'll said: 81 never throw away a sim
gle potato which is left over; there is
always some use for it. If even one or
two only are left, CRATE them and use
them to thiclzen soup. If more, they
| can be sauteed the next morning for
breakfast, or cut into dice and heated

and piece of butter has been added.
By putting them into hot oven and
allowing the milk to be partly absorbed
by the potatoes, this makes a very good
plain DISH
