TO BOIL POTATOES. Great care should be taken in boiling potatoes. This is a vegetable that is often neglected. When the potatoes boil, see that they do not boil too fast. A handful of salt should be put into the water. Try with a fork to see if ready. They must not boil too soft. Drain and shake over the fire, and place a napkin over them and steam. Boil a small bit of mint with them, when new.
