How To Boil Potatoes Recipe

Wash the potatoes clean, and put them on to boil in a saucepan, with

cold water just enough to cover them; place the saucepan on the hob,

close to the fire, and allow them to remain in that position for a

quarter of an hour, by which time the water will have gradually reached

to the boiling point; the saucepan should now be allowed to boil until

the potatoes are done through, and then pour off the water; put the lid

on again with a cloth on the top, place the saucepan close to the fire

for about five minutes, and when you turn them out on their dish you

will find that you have a well-boiled, mealy potato before you.
