Potato Salad
(A German Dish.)
142. Six potatoes,
Six onions,
Two ounces of butter,
Pepper, salt, and vinegar to the taste.
Boil the potatoes and the onions till they are soft; the onions require about as long again as the potatoes.
Wipe out the pot in which the potatoes were boiled, mash the onions in it, slice the potatoes, but do not mash them, and add to the onions, put in the butter, pepper, salt, and vinegar; set it over the fire and stir it till it is hot, when it will be ready for the table.
Some persons prefer it without the vinegar.
