HOW TO MAKE POTATO BUTTER
British Ministry of Food Gives Time
to Studying Out Plans to Con-

The ministry of food states that in
view of the shortage of butter they
have been carrying out experiments in
order to find suitable and economical
WAYS Of eking out the available but
ter and margarine supplies by mixing
In other food substances and so pro-
ducing cheap and palatable substitu-
tutes, says the London Times. These
experiments have shown that an ex-
cellent potato butter" costing only
about sd per pound Cor less if margar-
inc is used) can easily be made in any
household without special knowledge
or apparatus in accordance with the
following recipe:
Peel the potatoes and boil Tor
steam) until they fall to pieces and
become fiowery. Rub through fine
sieve into a large basin which has
been previously warmed. To every IA
ounces of mashed potatoes add two
ounces of butter or margarine and one
teaspoonful of salt. Stir thoroughly
with the back of wooden spoon until
the whole is quite smooth. The but
ter may then be made up into pounds
or half-pounds and kept in cool place.
The potato butter may be improved
in appearance by the addition of
few drops of butter coloring, and if 1t
is to be kept for more than a few days
butter preservative, of which there are
several forms on the market, should be
used. The amount should be in accord
ance with the printed instructions on
the packet for use in butter Both the
coloring and the preservative should
be well mixed into the potato at the
same time as the butter and salt. If
these directions are carefully followed
potato butter will keep for a consider
able time.
