Creamy Potatoes
1 pk. potatoes
4 qts. milk
1⁄3 cup salt
1 tablespoon pepper
11⁄3 cups butter
One peck of potatoes will make about ten quarts when prepared for creamy potatoes. Melt the butter in the cooker-pail, add the milk, and, while it is heating, slice the potatoes which have been pared and soaked, for two hours or more, in cold water. As each quart of potatoes is sliced put it into the hot milk. The potatoes will thus be heated to boiling point, quart by quart. Add the seasoning. When boiling, after the last quart of potatoes has been added, put all into the cooker for one hour or more.
Serves forty or fifty persons.
