new Potatoes a la Creme or in Milk.
Take the small new potatoes, scrape off the skins when washed, and boil, or better, steam them not quite done, the day before needed for breakfast; in the morning chop or cut fine, with any others left over; salt and pepper to taste. One cup of milk to 2 or 3 of potato. Heat the milk with a table-spoonful of butter, and stir in the potatoes, and warm up nicely.
Remarks. —A Mrs. Deacon Warner, for whose husband I worked in haying the first half month I ever worked away from home, over 50 years ago, used to get them up in this way, and I thought them, and still think, they are the nicest I ever ate. Of course old ones may be used in the same manner, and are nice, but the new, it seems to me, at least, richer, and I know, more sweet and tender.
