| Cream Potatoes
Bake the potatoes in a slow oven. When perfectly
cold slice rather thin. Put into a pan, sprinkle
on a little flour and toss the potatoes about
with your hand until some flour adheres to each
piece. Cover these floured potatoes with small
bits of butter. If the butter is put in in one piece
the potatoes get broken before the butter reaches
them all.
Sprinkle in a little salt and put in enough
cream so that they are about half covered. If you
use more cream they will cook too tender and be
mushy before the cream is cooked down. Stand
by them. Stir with a knife blade lifting them
from the bottom but not turning them over.
When they begin to glisten lift them to a hot
serving dish and put them where they will keep
warm but will not cook any further.
If you have not cream add a little more butter
but the cream is better than the butter.

French Fried Potatoes
Wash and pare the potatoes and cut into any desired shape. Drain well. Fry in smoking fat until nicely browned, then drain on browned paper. Season well and serve.
