To Boil Potatoes

Pare the potatoes; cover them with cold water; boil them gently until they are done. Pour off the water and sprinkle salt over them; then with a spoon, take each potato and lay it into a clean, warm cloth; twist this so as to press all the moisture from the potato, turn it carefully into a dish placed before the fire. Send them to the table immediately. Potatoes cooked in this way are mashed without the slightest trouble.
