_Ingredients._—Potatoes, salt, and water. _Mode._—Choose large white
potatoes, as free from spots as possible; boil them in their skins in
salt and water until perfectly tender; drain and _dry them thoroughly_
by the side of the fire, and peel them. Put a hot dish before the
fire, rub the potatoes through a coarse sieve on to this dish; do not
touch them afterwards, or the flakes will fall, and serve as hot as
possible. _Time._—½ to ¾ hour to boil the potatoes. _Average cost_,
4_s._ per bushel. _Sufficient_,—6 potatoes for 3 persons. _Seasonable_
at any time.
