Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

• a piece of ice around
• salt
• pepper

Directions

1. Wash clean and place in a kettle of boiling hot water and let boil twenty minutes; take out and place in dripping-pan and bake in a quick oven till done. Or pare and slice ; place them in a saucepan with a bit of butter, and sprinkle them with salt and barely cover them with water, covering them closely that they may steam quickly ; when soft all through, add sweet cream or a little more butter ; mash lightly, and they are ready to serve.

3. TOMATOES BAKED. Pour boiling water over them and remove the skin ; cut them in small pieces ; season with salt and pepper ; put them in a pan with bread crumbs and pieces of butter ; cover closely, and bake three-quarters of an hour. When done, mash, and serve hot.

4. TOMATOES EAW. Do not loosen the skins with scalding water, as it destroys the crispness and flavor, but pare with a sharp knife ; slice and lay in a glass dish ; make a seasoning of vinegar, salt and pepper, stirring a piece of ice around in it. Pour it over the tomatoes ; keep them ice cold until wanted.
