Mashed Potatoes

Boil as directed for plain boiled potatoes. When done mash quickly in a vegetable press or use a wire masher. To each six potatoes allow a piece of butter the size of a walnut, one gill of boiled milk or cream, a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper. Beat with a wooden fork till very light. Serve in a heated, uncovered dish.
