Potato Balls

Add to one pint hot mashed potatoes one-eighth teaspoon celery salt, one
teaspoon chopped parsley, salt, pepper and butter to taste, and enough hot milk
to make of consistency to shape. Form into smooth round balls, bake in hot
buttered pan, or saute in butter, or fry in deep fat; or they may be sauted in sausage
fat, which gives an appetizing flavor.

Creamed Potatoes

Cut two cups cold boiled potatoes in very thin slices, or in cubes. Add one
cup white sauce. Season highly and re-heat in double boiler. Serve in hot dish,
sprinkled with finely chopped parsley.

crumbs, and bake thirty minutes in hot oven. A few drops onion juice may be
added.

French Fried Potatoes

serve.

Potato Chips

Slice raw potatoes, cover with cold water, and let soak over night. Drain
dry between towels and fry in frying basket in hot fat about ten minutes. Drain
and sprinkle with salt. Care must be used when lowering the basket into the
hot fat, as the potatoes contain so much water it causes violent ebullition.

tablespoon butter, add one tablespoon flour and one-half cup brown stock. Cook

potatoes. Melt one tablespoon butter in another frying pan. When brown,
turn in potatoes, spread evenly, and cook ten minutes; fold like an omelet, and
