French Ways With Potatoes
The Frencu have a store of tasty ways of cooking potatoes and we should do well to learn from them, Here are two methods which are easy:-
POTATOES EN CATEAU
Take some old potatoes, bolled and cold; any kind will do for this Cut them across in slices.
Put in a hot frying pan a good silce of butter; when it is at the foaming stage, put in the potaces season well with salt and pepper.
Cook on a moderate fre, shaking and stirring; it does not matter if you break them in doing so, but they must be free in the pan, and stick together SO S to form a whole.
Add more butter if necessary, If the potatoes make a kind of rust- ling noise when the pan is, shaken means that the cake is nicely browned.

Place a hot, flat serving dish on the pan and turn them out. You have a cake made of silces of po- tetees well buttered, soft inside and at the same time crisp out- side.
POTATOES VILLAGEOISE"
Put in an earthenware chatty one piece of carrot, one small onion and a little parsley, which you add after you have cooked the onion and carrot in butter for a few minutes.
Put in then a pound of potatoes, cut in thin slices and seasoned with salt and pepper. Add water level with the potatoes, bring to the bo and let it simmer, with the lid on. till the potatoes are soft.
