Ingredients
- two cups mashed potatoes put two spoons melted butter
- a tablespoonful of melted butter
- a cup of cream
- three beaten eggs
- two spoons melted butter
- two well beaten eggs
- parsley
- salt
Directions
The potatoes must be of equal size. Put them into a hot oven, and bake until tender. It requires about an hour to bake a large potato. Serve immediately ; if left to stand they are not good.
FRIE1> POTATOES.
Peel, and cut the potatoes in thin slices, as nearly the same size as possible ; put into a frying pan some lard, or butter, and when quite hot put in the potatoes, fry on both sides until they are a nice brown. AVhen they are crisp, and done, take them up; place them on a cloth before the fire to drain the grease from them, and serve very hot, after sprinkling with salt.
POTATOES BAKED IVITH BEEF. Pare potatoes of equal size, and put them into the oven in the same pan in which the beef is baked. In basting the beef the potatoes should be basted also. Serve them around the beef.
POTATO CROQIETTES. Season cold mashed potatoes with pepper, salt, and nutmeg. Beat to a cream, and to every cup of potato put a tablespoonful of melted butter. Bind with two or three beaten eggs, and add some minced parsley. Roll into oval balls, dip into beaten egg, then in bread crumbs, and fry in hot lard, or drippings. Pile in a pyramid on a flat dish, and serve.
POTATO PUFFS. To two cups mashed potatoes put two spoons melted butter ; beat until creamy. Then add two well beaten eggs, and a cup of cream, or milk, a little salt ; beat well ; pour into a baking dish, spread butter over the top, and bake quickly, a delicate brown.
