Put 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan, and when melted add 5
or 6 cold boiled potatoes cut in slices, season highly with salt and
pepper, fry until done, which will be about twelve or fifteen minutes,
turning with a knife; when nearly done stop stirring, and let the
potatoes brown on the bottom of the pan; serve in a hot dish with
the browned slices on the top.
FRIED POTATO SAVOURY
Fry cold sliced or diced potatoes, and when browned add 1/2 teaspoon
of onion juice or extract, then arrange in a buttered baking dish in
layers with grated cheese, pepper, salt, and some butter in each layer,
cover the top with a few brown crumbs and chopped parsley or chives,
and let heat a few minutes in the oven. Chopped chives can be arranged
with the layers of potato if the flavour is liked.
CREAMED POTATOES
Put 2 tablespoons of butter into a saucepan, and when melted add 1
tablespoon of minced parsley and pepper and salt, stir until very hot,
then add a scant cup of milk, containing 1 teaspoon of flour and a
pinch of soda, and when this boils add diced cold boiled potatoes,
and, when thoroughly heated through, serve.
ESCALLOPED POTATOES
Boil 10 or 12 medium-sized potatoes in their skins, and after peeling
slice them in slices 1/4 of an inch thick. While the potatoes are
boiling make a sauce of 2 cups of milk, the juice of 1 onion, salt
and pepper, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 1 tablespoon of thickening
flour. Butter a baking dish, and arrange a layer of potatoes, cover
with sauce, then put another layer of potatoes, and so continue
until the dish is filled. Then cut 2 hard-boiled eggs in neat slices,
arrange them over the top, sprinkle with cracker crumbs and a little
finely chopped parsley, and cook ten or twelve minutes in the oven.
POTATOES DELMONICO
For a large baking dish 4 cups of cold boiled diced potatoes will
be required. Butter a baking dish, and put a layer of potatoes an
inch deep in the bottom, and cover this with well made white sauce,
and sprinkle slightly with salt and pepper; then add another layer of
potato, and white sauce, and seasoning, and so on, until the dish is
heaping full, and then sprinkle the top with grated cheese, and let
brown well in a hot oven.
OAK HILL POTATOES
Butter a baking dish well, and place in it alternate layers of sliced
cold boiled potatoes and hard-boiled eggs, seasoning each layer; then
pour over it a white sauce in which grated cheese is melted. Cover
the top of the dish with cracker crumbs, and brown in the oven.
