Pare, cut into dice, and soak in cold water half an hour. Stew in
enough hot salted water to cover them. Before taking up, and when they
are breaking to pieces, drain off half the water, and pour in a cupful
of milk. Boil three minutes, stirring well; put in a lump of butter the
size of an egg rolled in flour, a little salt and a pinch of pepper;
add a little parsley; boil up well and turn into a covered dish.
This is an excellent family dish. Children are usually fond of it and
it is very wholesome.
