Cut potatoes 'in 14 slices (not cooked), roll in batter which, if it is left over from breakfast pancakes, is all the better, but it should be stiffer than for pancakes; fry until done and serve. This is especially fine, good enough for first prize and liked by everyone. Celery cut in suitable lengths can be served the same way fried in batter. — Mrs. McCreary, 78 E. Buffalo street, city.
