FISH BALLS. In New-England these are a well-known and an honored dish. Mince fine boiled salt fish, after every vestige of bone and skin are removed. Mash, not chop, fresh boiled potatoes. Have more potato than fish, or they will not unite well. Work both into a united mixture by adding butter. Some think a beaten egg an improvement. Flour your hands, and make the mixture into little flat cakes. Dredge them. Fry as doughnuts in boil- ing hot drippings. Take them out with a skim- mer, and lay them on a strainer that the fat may drain oflT. Send to the table on a hot platter.
