Potatoes, Mashed, with Onions

Boil and dry the potatoes, and mash them according to the directions given above, and whilst mashing mix with them two or three onions which have been boiled till soft, and finely minced. The quantity of onion used will, of course, be regulated by taste. Some cooks, when the flavour is very much liked, chop up a raw onion, and mix it with the potatoes. Time, from half an hour to an hour to boil the potatoes. Probable cost, 1d. or 1 1/2d. per pound. Sufficient, two pounds of potatoes for four or five persons.
