Never let them wait for other things, but time the preparation of dinner so that they will be ready at the moment needed.

New potatoes require no peeling, but should merely be well washed and rubbed.
MASHED POTATOES.
Boil as directed, and when dry and mealy, mash fine with a potato-masher or large spoon, allowing for a dozen medium-sized potatoes a piece of butter the size of an egg, half a cup of milk, a teaspoonful of salt, and half a teaspoonful of white pepper.

The milk may be omitted if the potato is preferred dry.

Pile lightly in a dish, or smooth over, and serve at once.

Never brown in the oven, as it destroys the good flavor.
POTATO SNOW.
Mash as above, and rub through a colander into a very hot dish, being careful not to press it down in any way, and serve hot as possible.
BAKED POTATOES.
Wash and scrub carefully, as some persons eat the skin.
