BROWNED POTATOES
- 12 potatoes
- 4 ozs. (½ cup) melted butter
- 1 onion
- ½ teaspoonful black pepper
Peel the potatoes and boil them in boiling salted water until they are nearly, though not quite, done.
Take up, drain, and cut each potato in halves lengthways; put flat side down on a hot buttered earthenware pan, set into the oven, baste with the melted butter having the onion juice and black pepper in it, till the potatoes are brown and quite tender.
