POTATO RECIPES.
THANKS to Mrs. M. B. H.,
Washington.)
Answering the request of Mrs
r. H. E., Washington, for different
ways of cooking potatoes, here are
two concocted during World War
and which are especially suitable
IN tneSe meatleSS days.
Victory ROast-Peel and cut ir
chunks l medium size potato fol
each diner, adding l tablespoon rice
each, teaspoon finely chopped
green pepper, teaspoons chopped
onion and salt and pepper. Cook
in stewpan until just about done
leaving contents moist but no float
ing liquid. In the meantime chop
fine 4 pound American cheese. Put
u the contents of stewpan In
creased casserole (bacon grease is
flne), sprinkle over it a teaspoon
chopped parsley, then half the
chopped cheese and sprinkle cheese
with paprika. Add the other half
of stewpan contents and top in the
same manner. Bake until nice
brown crust is formed.
TN these days of unripened
cheese, teaspoon Parmesan cheese
if you can get ft-sprinkled over
the American cheese will give a de-
sirable tang) This is tasty-hot,
cold or medium.
Poinsettia PotatOes-Prepare po-
tatoes exactly as If you were tc
serve them mashed, except perhaps
just a little more milk, and beat
in an egg. Place In creased Pyre.
pieplate, smooth over and sprinkle
top with finely chopped cheese.
Place in oven until crust is formed
Ito prevent decorations sinking)
and remove from heat to receive
decoration
Open a can or glass of pimiento
and cut into 5 large petals to ra-
date loosely around a center bud
which may be little ball of
cheese, or mound of potato size of
or any other vegetable you
may fancy, or even a tiny cluster
of parsley leaves. Around this I
scatter a few tiny pearl onions, but
If you haven't them, a little chopped
parsley will do Then return it to
the oven for the cheese crust to
brown. Sometimes I slice length
wise, 2 cooked carrots and cutting
them down to the right length,
place them between the pimiento
petals using the top of the carrot
for the center bud, and brushing
the carrots with melted butter.
This is Both good and beautiful.
