Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Scrape and wash the roots, and put them into boiling water with salt.
  2. When done, drain them, and place them in the dish without cutting them up.
  3. They are a very excellent vegetable, but require nicety in cooking; exposure to the air, either in scraping or after boiling, will make them black.
