Baked Or Roasted Potatoes Recipe

You do not require that I should tell you that when you have no oven you

can easily roast your potatoes by placing them on the hobs, bars, and

under the fire-grate; and if you are attentive to their being well

roasted, by turning them about now and then, so that they may be done

all over alike, you need not be deprived of a baked potato for the want

of an oven. When the potatoes are roasted, slightly squeeze each

separately in a cloth, to make them mealy, then split them open; season

them with a bit of butter, or dripping, a little bit of chopped shalot,

pepper, and salt, and this will afford you a nice relish for supper.
