Generally speaking, the American
or creamery store cheese sells at the
same price per pound as the medium

skins until nearly tender. Drain and
then dry we'll and then rub with
shortening. Finish cooking in the

tato into a bowl. Take care not to
break the skin or shell of the pota-
toes. To the potato pulp in the bowl
add, for every six potatoes, one
onion, one green pepper minced very

tablespoonful of mayonnaise dress
ing. Mix and then fill into the pre-
pared shells. Mask the top of the
potatoes with the, mayonnaise dress

parsley. Serve on a bed Of lettuce
leaves.
