Steamed Potatoes

Wash and scrub the potatoes, place them in a steamer, or without a steamer, place them in a colander over a kettle of boiling water. Cover and steam about thirty-five or forty minutes, or until you can pierce them readily with a fork. Allow ten minutes longer for steaming than for boiling potatoes of equal size. When done, remove the. skins quickly and serve in an uncovered dish.
