- Ingredients—1 oz. of butter to every pound of potatoes.
- 1 tablespoonful of cream, if possible.
- Pepper and salt to taste.
Method.—The potatoes should be well cooked, and be dry and floury.
Put them quickly through a wire sieve.
Mix them well in a saucepan with the butter, cream, and seasoning.
Make them quite hot.
Heap them in a mound-like form in a vegetable dish, and smooth over with a knife.
Mashed Potatoes (a plainer way).
Add to the potatoes, while in the saucepan, some butter or dripping.
Beat with a fork until perfectly smooth and free from lumps.
