  1. Cleanse them well, put them in cold water, and boil them with their skins on exceedingly slow.
  2. When the water bubbles, throw in a little cold water.
  3. When they are done, drain the water completely away through a colander; return them into a pot or saucepan without water; cover them up, and set them before the fire for a quarter of an hour longer.
  4. Do not pare the potatoes before they are boiled, which is a very unwholesome and wasteful practice.
