Potato Salad, page 81 Take cold boiled potatoes, peel and slice them in small thin pieces, taking care not to break them in bits. Stir through them a good sized onion, sliced in thin rings shredded apart, and salt and pepper to the taste. Make dressing as for hot slaw, of beaten egg and a table-spoonful of cream, stirred into a hot mixture of vinegar weakened a little with hot water and sugar. When this dressing cools off a little pour it over the potatoes, stirring through lightly with a fork and spoon, without mashing the potatoes. Vanilla Blanc-Mange, page 206 One-half ounce of gelatine soaked in 1 pint of sweet milk one hour; set over fire, add yolks of 2 eggs beaten with 1/2 a cup of sugar, heat to boiling, flavor with vanilla and turn into mould. Set in a cool place. Just before serving whip the whites of eggs and spread over top. Eat with sweetened cream. Mt. Vernon Cook Book, Second Edition, 1908, Thompson Company Printers, Carthage, Mo. |
