Six large, smooth potatoes, half a cupful of boiling milk, one table -spoonful of butter, the whites of four eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Wash the potatoes clean, being careful not to break the skin. Bake forty-five minutes. Take the potatoes from the oven, and with a sharp knife, cut them in two, lengthwise. Scoop out the potato with a spoon, and put it in a hot bowl. Mash light and fine. Add the seasoning, butter and milk, and then half the whites of the eggs. Fill the skins with the mixture. Cover with the remaining white of the egg, and brown in the oven. Great care must be taken not to break the skins. Sweet Potatoes. Sweet potatoes require from forty-five to fifty-five minutes to boil, and from one hour to one and a quarter to bake. The time given will make the potatoes moist and sweet. If, however, they are preferred dry and mealy, fifteen minutes less will be enough. French Fried Sweet Potatoes. Prepare and fry the same as the white potatoes. Or, they ean first be boiled half an hour, and then pared, cut and fried as directed. The latter is the better way, as they are liable to be a little hard if fried when raw. Cold Boiled Sweet Potatoes. Cut cold boiled sweet potatoes in thick slices, and season well with salt and pepper. Have the bottom of the fryingpan covered with either butter, or pork, ham or chicken fat. Put enough of the sliced potatoes in the pan to just cover the bottom. Brown one side, and turn, and brown the other. Serve in a hot dish. Cold potatoes can be served in cream, cut in thick slices and toasted, cut in thick slices, dipped in egg and bread crumbs and fried brown, and can be fried in batter. Plain Boiled Macaroni.
