Browned Sweet Potatoes

After the potatoes have been boiled and dried in the oven, remove the skins and cut into halves. Put three tablespoonfuls of drippings in a large frying-pan. Dust the potatoes with salt, pepper and sugar, put them into the hot fat and turn carefully until browned on both sides. Serve very hot.

MASHED SWEET POTATOES, Southern Style.

Boil dry and skin six good-sized sweets. Mash them fine, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, a half teaspoonful of salt, beat until light. Put them into a baking-dish and when there is enough, smooth over the top. Brush with milk, and bake in a moderate oven until a light brown. Serve as a separate course by itself.
