Mashed Potatoes.
Prepare as usual—without browning.
Queen’s Toast.
Cut thick slices of stale baker’s bread into rounds with a cake-cutter and fry to a nice brown in hot lard. Dip each slice into boiling water to remove the grease; sprinkle with a mixture of powdered sugar and cinnamon, and pile one upon the other. Serve a sauce made of powdered sugar, dissolved in the strained juice of a lemon and thinned with a glass of wine. Put a very little upon each round. Butter sauces are too rich for queen’s toast.
