Directions

1

Put them in a steamer and let them remain until done, and the skins can be easily removed ; then slice them lengthwise, and put them in a baking dish with plenty of butter. Sprinkle a little brown sugar all through them ; add a little water in the bottom of the dish and put it in to bake until brown. Serve it in the dish in which it is baked.

STEWED POTATOES (for Breakfast).

3

Pare, quarter and soak them in cold water for half an hour. Stew them in enough cold salted water to cover them. Before taking them up, and when they are breaking to pieces, drain off half the water and put in a cupful of milk. Boil it three minutes, stirring well ; put in a lump of butter the size of an egg, a little salt and a pinch of pepper. Boil up well and put it in a covered dish. Add parsley and onion if one likes it.
