Stuffed Potatoes

6 medium sized potatoes 1/3 to 1/2 cup milk or cream.

2 to 3 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon salt.

Select well shaped potatoes of about equal size. Bake until soft, then cut or break the potato at about the middle. Remove the contents, mash the potato, add salt, butter and sufficient cream or milk to cause the potato to beat up light. When very light fill the skins with the seasoned potato, piling it up in irregular shapes. Set the stuffed potatoes in the oven for a few minutes to brown.

Potatoes A La Maitre D'Hotel

Prepare a pint of potato balls, using a French cutter for the purpose. Small cubes will do if the cutter is not obtainable. Put the potatoes to cook in boiling salted water for ten minutes. Drain and add one cup of hot milk. Continue the cooking until the potatoes are soft. Cream one tablespoonful of butter and add one beaten egg yolk. When well blended with the butter, add one tablespoon lemon juice, one tablespoon chopped parsley and one-half tea-spoonful of salt. Lift a little of the hot milk from the potatoes into the butter, then pour quickly into the potatoes, stirring while so doing.

Browned Potatoes
