Potato Fritters.
6 tablespoonfuls mashed potato rubbed through a colander; ½ cup rich milk, or cream; 5 eggs, beaten light; 2 tablespoonfuls sugar; 2 tablespoonfuls prepared flour; juice of 1 lemon, and half the grated peel; ½ grated nutmeg.
Work the cream into the potato; add beaten yolks and sugar, and whip to a froth. Put in lemon, flour, nutmeg, and beat three minutes before stirring in the whites. Drop, by the spoonful, into hot sweet lard, and fry to a light brown. Drain upon clean, heated paper, sift white sugar thickly over them and serve at once. Eat if you like with wine sauce, or with powdered sugar only.
