Potatos Mashed

Ingredients

• 1 pound potatoes
• 1/2 ounce butter
• 1 tablespoon milk
• egg yolk

Instructions

1. When the potatos are thoroughly boiled, drain and dry them perfectly.
2. Pick out every speck, and rub them through a colander into a clean stew-pan.
3. To a pound of potatos put half an ounce of butter and a table-spoonful of milk; do not make them too moist. Mix them well together.
4. When the potatos are getting old and specked, and in frosty weather, this is the best way of dressing them.
5. You may put them into shapes, touch them over with yelk of egg, and brown them very slightly before a slow fire.
