  1. Choose potatoes as much as possible of one size, wash but do not scrape them, peel them as thin as possible.
  2. Put them into the pan with cold water and a little salt—no lid is to be allowed on the pan.
  3. Try them now and then with a fork, and when they are soft, pour off all the water and draw them to the side of the fire.
  4. Shake them gently all the time that they may dry, and that the pan may not burn, but still leave them uncovered, even when you send them upstairs, as their steam would spoil them.
  5. Serve very hot.
Original Text
Potato—Boiled Potatoes. No. 3. To Boil Potatoes the Lancashire way, so as to make them mealy. (Mrs. Farrer.) Choose potatoes as much as possible of one size, wash but do not scrape them, peel them as thin as possible, put them into the pan with cold water and a little salt—no lid is to be allowed on the pan. Try them now and then with a fork, and when they are soft, pour off all the water and draw them to the side of the fire; shake them gently all the time that they may dry, and that the pan may not burn, but still leave them uncovered, even when you send them upstairs, as their steam would spoil them. Serve very hot.
