Directions
squeeze out most of the water, then add the hot potatoes, bread and salt, form into balls about the size of a baseball, drop into kettle of boiling- water and boil half hour. After boil- ing- a few minutes, raise them up with a spoon, so that they won't stick to the bottom of the kettle; serve with meat and gravy; but they are best when cold, cut up and fried. The water the potatoes were boiled in will make an excellent soup with the ad- dition of a few vegetables. — Mrs. Nat Smythe, 443 East Thirty-eighth street, city.
To Make Potato Starch.
If the water which was drained off the raw grated potatoes is allowed to settle, about a cupful of potato starch will be found in the bottom of the dish. Several changes of water should be put on this starch until it is perfectly clean and pure white; then it may be dried and used in place of corn starch for thickening soups, etc. — Mrs. Nat Smythe.
Mix potatoes, eggs, flour and milk and salt; form into patties and fry to a nice brown on both sides. — Mrs. Nat Smythe, 44 3 East Thirty-eighth street, city.
