Potatoes in Seven Ways

Sunday, peel, steam, mash, add milk, butter and salt, and then beat like cake-batter, the longer the better, till they are nice and light. This steaming and beating will be found a great improvement. Monday, baked potatoes in their jackets; if any are left they may be warmed over, peeling when cold, and then slicing. Tuesday, peel and bake with roast of beef.

Wednesday, prepare in Kentucky style.

Thursday, peel, steam, and serve whole.

Friday, "potatoes a la pancake;" peel, cut in thin slices lengthwise, sprinkle with pepper and salt, and fry in butter or beef drippings, turning like griddle-cakes. Saturday, potatoes boiled in their jackets.
