Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

salt

Directions

Pare and plain boil, mash in the same vessel in which they are cooked, and season with hot milk, butter, and salt to taste ; beat with a fork, and arrange neatly in a hot dish, or glaze over with butter, and brown in the oven. If browned, cut across each way, that the crust may not bind.
