Baked Potatoes. Time—1½ hour.
Choose potatoes of equal size. Brush them very clean, drop them into a basin of cold salt and water, then dry them. Place them on a baking sheet, and bake in a moderate oven. When a fork will pierce them easily they are baked. The skins should never be eaten.
Another way.—Brush the potatoes, peel them very thin, parboil them, then brown them under the meat.
