Now that potatoes are high and the
price still soaring, 1t is important TO
many families thai they be cooked In
the most economical manner possible.
Pairing and cooking is the most waste
ful method, and added to this some
cooks soak the potatoes in water
after they are pared. Starting to cook
them in cold waite also adds to the
amount of waste. Twice as much nu-
@|tritive matter is lost il pairing Is done
after boiling as there is If it Is done
before boiling, not figuring the waste in
cutting away the potato. The juices Of
the potato contain So per cent of the
ash, and these substances are easily
extracted when the protein OF the skin
pas been removed. A pared potato
soaked from three to five hours loses
about three times AZ much Of it's min
cral matter and several times as much
