For this you will need a vegetable cutter. Select large potatoes, pare them and press the vegtable cutter in one end of the potato. When all are cut, soak them in cold water a few minutes; drain, drop them into gently boiling water and cook 12 minutes. Drain off the water, add 1 tablespoon butter, a little salt and pepper and toss the potatoes over the fire until covered with the melted butter. Sprinkle with minced parsley and serve very hot.—Mrs. E. S. Berndt.
