Origin: Tidewater Virginia
Source: Mary Randolph, 1824
Ingredients
- potatoes
Instructions
- Wash and dry your potatos (all of a size), and put them in a tin Dutch oven, or cheese toaster.
- Take care not to put them too near the fire, or they will get burned on the outside before they are warmed through.
- Large potatos will require two hours to roast them.
- To save time and trouble, some cooks half boil them first.
