Favorite Warmed Potatoes
- Potatoes
- Salt
- Pepper
- Butter the size of an egg
- 1 cup sweet milk
The potatoes should be boiled whole with the skins on in plenty of water, well salted. Better if potatoes are boiled the day before they are needed. Care should be taken that they are not overcooked. Strip off the skins (do not pare them with a knife) and slice nearly a quarter of an inch thick. Place in a chopping bowl and sprinkle over them enough pepper and salt to season them well. Chop them all one way then turn the chopping bowl half way around and chop across them, cutting into little square pieces the shape of a dice. About 25 minutes before serving, place a saucepan on the stove with the butter. When the butter begins to melt and run over the bottom of the dish, add the milk. When this boils up, put in the chopped potatoes. There should be about a quart of them. Stir a little so the potatoes become moistened through with the milk. Cover and put on the back burner or in a oven heated to 350F at 350 degrees F where they will heat through gradually. When heated through, stir carefully from the bottom with a spoon and cover tightly again. Keep hot until ready to serve.
