Practical vegetarian cookery

WACHTMEISTER POTATOES.

Select potatoes of medium size and perfect shape; scour the skins, and steam until tender, then place in oven until skin is slightly toughened; remove from oven and open at one end, carefully removing contents, do not break the skins. Have ready a bowl of whipped cream; mash the potatoes and mix freely with whipped cream. Stuff back in potato skins and set in shallow dish, open ends up; place back in oven and let them get thoroughly hot, then serve. One who has been a strict vegetarian for years finds salt a poison; and it is omitted intentionally in the “Wachtmeister” receipt. It can of course be added to potato in mixing for those who desire it.
