Original Text
Potato—New Potatoes. New potatoes should not be prepared till just as they go into the pot. Wash and rub off the peel carefully with a cloth. The water should have a little salt in it, and must be boiling when you put the potatoes into it. When nearly done, drain off the water and set to dry, but not close covered. Dish them on a little butter, or with white sauce over. Another copy says you should drain and finish them in a very little butter, the butter is not to show, but to flavour agreeably.
