Boiled Potatoes, No. 2
133. Wash ten potatoes, boil them in water, with a little salt. When they are soft, peel them, put them in a pan, with an ounce of butter and half a gill of milk or cream. Mash them well, add more salt if necessary, and put them in a vegetable dish.
Have ready an egg beaten light; spread the egg over the potatoes, and brown it with a salamander, if you have one, or wash the pan of the shovel, heat it very hot, and hold it over the potatoes sufficiently near to brown the egg.
Serve it hot.
