POTATOES AT
THEIR BEST
BY Loretto C. Lynch

" AR too many of us fall into
the habit of serving pota-
toes in only one or two
ways and some of us have fallen
: into the habit of serving no po-
tatoes. at ALL Yet in the general
mixed diet, potatoes should find
a place.
Mashed potatoes may be pre-
pared from whole potatoes boiled
with the skin removed. This
gives a whittier product although
some. Of the nutriment is lost.
Drain the water from the hot
boiled potato and shake the cook
pot well so as to break the potato
and let the steam escape. Then
proceed Ito mash and whip to
cream with masher. Add hot
milk or cream little at a time.
For every six potatoes allow one
level tablespoon of butter. Add
salt and pepper as desired.
Potatoe croquettes are good for
luncheon or supper. To two cups
of mashed potatoe, add one light
ly beaten egg, one teaspoon each
of finely minced onion into cro-
quettes in a device made for this
purpose. Dip into beaten egg
then into fine crumbs and fry in
hot deep fat.
Picked-over fish Of chopped
meat may be added to the mashed
potato.
Frome leftover cold boiled pota.
toes may be made potatoes au
gratin. Make a white sauce by
rubbing together two leveled table
spoons each of flour and butter.
Add one-half pint milk and cook
stirring until mixture boils. Add
this to two cups of cooked half
inch potato cubes. Place in a
baking dish, sprinkle with grated
cheese and leave in a moderate
oven until cheese is melted and
slightly brown.

Mr.. Emu walked up to Mrs
