son why small quantities Of coarse
samp or any other cereal which will
keep its shape fairly well should not
be used up In the same way. Simi-
larly, remnants of macaroni broken
into small pieces may be used in the
place of vermicelli or other special
soup pastes. Such practices serve
the double purpose Of using material
that would otherwise be wasted and
of giving little variety to simple
diet by inexpensive means.
Oatmeal cookies, toothsome and
wholesome sweet for the school lunch,

SPLENDID DISH FOR SUPPER
Combination Of Eggs and Cheese Is
Recommended by Department Of
Agriculture.

The combination of eggs and cheese
makes a hearty dish suitable for sup
per, dinner or lunch. The following
recipe is recommended by the expert
mental kitchen of the United States
Department Of Agriculture:
4 eggs stale bread crumbs
l cup; p;;.d cbs.ss 4 few grains of
1 c,,n of fine. soft Cayenne pepper
Break the eggs into buttered bak-
ing dish or into ramekins and cook
in a hot oven until they begin to turn
white around the edge. Cover with the
mixture of crumbs, cheese and season
ings. Brown in very hot oven. In
preparing this dish it is essential that
the oven be very hot or the egg will be
too much cooked by the time the
cheese is brown. To avoid this, some
cooks cover the eggs with white sauce
before adding crumbs.
The food value of the dish Is very
close to that of a pound Of beef of
average composition. For those who
are particularly fond of cheese. the
amount of cheese In this recipe may
he very much increased, thus making a
much more nourishing dish; or the
amount may be reduced so as to give
hardly more than a suggestion of the
flavor of cheese.

into steaks or trimmed from roaSt-
Ing are used for Salisbury steak. In
the home the choicest cuts from the
round may be used or mixture OF
filet and round. The meat should be
chopped very fine, or, better stiii'
scraped from the fibers, first on one
side, then on the other. For each
pound of prepared beef, take one-quhr-
ter of a pound of beef marrow, crush
the marrow and mix evenly through
the meat. Add very gradually one-hair
cupful of cold water, press into lOar
or cakes, keeping the edges as thick
as the center. Broil over Goals or un-
der gas or pan broll In a smoking
hot, lightly creased frying pan. Let
the meat cook on one side till a drop
of juice appears, then turn at once
to cook the other side. Serve
garnished with broiled bacon and with
French fried potatoes.

Velvet Jelly.-Soften one-fourth of a
package of gelatine in one-fourth of
a cupful of cold milk. Scald one and
one-half cupfuls of milk in a double
boiler. Beat the yolks Of two eggs,
add one-half teaspOonful Of salt, one
third of cupful of honey, and dilute
with a little hot milk; then mix and
cook in the rest of the milk until
thickened slightly. Fold in the whites
of the eggs beaten until stiff, one cup
full of cake crumbs and when hot add
the softened gelatine. Let chill, add
a half teaspoonful of vanilla and turn
into six molds. Serve cold with cream
and sugar.

measuring cup four teaspoonfuls OF
clarified bacon fat; add three tea
spoonfuls of boiling water, then I'LL

Add half teaspoonful of ginger, one
teaspoonful of soda. sifted with one
cupful of flour; mix and add enough
more flour to make a soft dough. Roll

Everybody likes good potato chips.
Their salty crispness makes them an
enjoyable addition to the luncheon or
dinner menu and provides a variation
in the customary methods Of serving
potatoes at home. Their food value
is high and they offer valuable part
of last years large potato crop.
Not all potatoes make good chips,
say food specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
the excellence of the finished product
depends on the materials used and the
care exercised in their preparation.
New potatoes in the spring or early
summer do not make good chips. They
should not be used before the skin
sets. A waxy or soggy potato is not
good chip material. Select a variety
that becomes mealy when baked or
boiled.
Round Potatoes Are Best
Although the size and shape of the
potato do not affect Its cooking quail
ity, they do influence the quantity and
appearance Of the chips. Round po-
tatoes are better than long ones, as
there Is less waste in peeling, espe-
cially II a vegetable peeler is used.
Deep eyes are Objectionable because
of the difficulty of pairing and the
waste involved, and because they
make ragged-looking slices.
The equipment necessary is simple
and inexpensive. Some form Of
vegetable slicer is essential, as it is
impossible to slice the peeled pota-
toes thin and even enough by hand.
The slices should be one-sixteenth
inch thick and should be even, if they
are to cook uniformly. The best YES
sci In which to fry the chips is one
that Is deep rather than wide, with
perforated basket in which the chips
can be lowered and raised.
Potato chips may be fried In a va
riety of fats, but for number OF
reasons the vegetable fats are pre-
ferab1e to the animal fats. Whatever
The Colorado statesman., 1921-03-05

fat may be selected, 1t must be In good
condition, 1. e., light-colored and free
from all Objectionable odors and fla
vors.
Peel large, smooth Irish potatoes, re-
moving all eyes and diseased spots.
Slice as described above. Soak slices
In cold water for at least an hour.
changing the water frequently until 1t
is entirely free from starch. Where
running water is available, letting
cold water run over the chips for an
hour is preferable to soaking In stand
ing water. Heat q igh-grade of veg
etable cooking oil to a little below
smoking point (210 degrees G, or 40
degrees f, If you have a thermome-
teri.
Slices Should Be Dried.
The kettle should not be much more
than half full of oil, otherwise the
water on the potatoes will sputter and
boil over when dropped into the hot
fat. The moisture on the slices must
be evaporated before the potatoes can
brown; 1t also lowers very appreci-
ably the temperature of the fat.
Therefore shake the soaked slices as
dry as possible. When making chips
in small quantities, 1t is possible to
partially dry the slices between towels
before placing them in the basket and
lowering into the oil. Do not cook
too many at time, or they will curl
into little balls. Stir constantly. They
will cook quickly. the time required
varying with the size of the kettle and
the quantity of the oil and potatoes
used. Three to five minutes is good
average. o.
When the chips are light golden
brown, raise the basket, drain off the
surplus oil and empty them on clean
brown paper. Sprinkle lightly with
salt. If fresh sweet oil is used and
care is taken to store the chips in
COOL dry, clean place, they should
keep without spelling for several
weeks. Place them in the oven for
few minutes before serving to make
them crisp.
