  1. Clean the potatoes but do not skin them.
  2. Soak them for 2 hours in cold water.
  3. Cut off the skin at one end the size of 1d. (A similar Irish recipe says: At the thickest end cut off a piece the size of a 6d.—this is the safety-valve through which the steam escapes, and all rents in the skin are thereby prevented.)
  4. Boil the potatoes in salt and water.
  5. Drain off the water.
  6. Put a folded cloth on the top of the pan, and put it on the stove to dry for 20 minutes.
  7. Do not let them “catch.”
  8. Send the potatoes up in their skins.

(A similar Irish recipe says: At the thickest end cut off a piece the size of a 6d.—this is the safety-valve through which the steam escapes, and all rents in the skin are thereby prevented.) Boil the potatoes in salt and water, then drain off the water, put a folded cloth on the top of the pan, and put it on the stove to dry for 20 minutes. Do not let them “catch.” Send the potatoes up in their skins.
