POTATO CHIPS
Take nice smooth potatoes, peel them, and slice very thin with a machine for the
purpose, or a cabbage-cutter. Throw in cold water. Pour boiling water on them
till they are clear. Then pour ice water on them to crisp them. Wipe dry and
drop one at a time into boiling lard and cook a pretty brown.
POTATOES BAKED IN THEIR
JACKETS
After washing and drying potatoes, put them in a pan and set in oven for an hour
or more. Remove when the skins break easily. If greased with either lard or
butter they will bake quickly. If mashed with the hands on taking from the oven
they will be very mealy. Wrap in a napkin. Serve hot.
