Potato—Boiled Potatoes. No. 2. “Mealy Potatoes.” To boil potatoes well, peel them as thin as possible; then let them lie in cold water with plenty of salt from 1 to 2 hours, fully covered by the water, then take them out and put on in other water, also cold, and well salted (sea water is the best), and boil; check the boiling near the end by adding more cold water—this is to make them “mealy;” when nearly done, pour off all the water, replace the lid again tight, cover the lid with a cloth, and let them finish cooking on the stove or oven top—this is to dry them well.
