Potatoes, Ancienne

Wipe six medium, even-sized raw potatoes, place in an ordinary earthen pot with two gills water and teaspoon salt, cover the potatoes with a wet, clean, coarse towel and place the cover on the pot. Set the earthen pot beside the red fire on the range and let steam for an hour, remove, lift up the towel, dress the potatoes on a hot dish in a folded napkin and serve.
