To Boil Potatoes Recipe

Select potatoes of uniform size, wash and pare thinly, cover with

boiling water and cook half an hour; when nearly done add salt. As soon

as done drain from the water and set the saucepan where the potatoes can

steam for a few minutes. They should be served immediately, and never

allowed to remain in the water a moment after they are cooked. Potatoes

are much better steamed with their skins on than boiled, as they then

retain all the potashes. When they are old they should be washed, pared

and covered with cold water, and allowed to stand for several hours

before either boiling or frying.
