Sweet Potatoes, Boiled and with Lobster Coral

This tubercle originally came from the island of St. Domingo, and may be prepared in various ways.

Boiled.-Wash, cut off the ends, and lay them in a large-mesh basket; cook them by steam for twenty minutes or else in boiling water. They can be served either in their skins or peeled.

With Lobster Coral.-After the sweet potatoes are boiled, cut them into olive-shapes; lay them in a vegetable dish, pour melted butter over, and strew the top with finely chopped lobster coral.
