Potatoes, To Steam
INGREDI- ENTS.-Potatoes; boiling water.
This mode of cooking potatoes is now much in vogue, particularly where they are wanted on a large scale, it being so very convenient. Pare the potatoes, throw them into cold water as they are peeled, then put them into a steamer. Place the steamer over a saucepan of boiling water, and steam the potatoes from 20 to 40 minutes, according to the size and sort. When a fork goes easily through them, they are done; then take them up, dish, and serve very quickly.
TIME.-20 to 40 minutes.
SEASONABLE all the year, but not so good whilst new potatoes are in season.
