Mashed Potatoes
To mash potatoes well they should be drained when soft and
steamed dry over the fire; then turn them into a basin and pass
them through a potato masher back into the saucepan; add a
piece of butter the size of a walnut (or more according to
quantity of potatoes), and a little hot milk, and mash all well
through over the fire with a wooden spoon, adding hot milk as
required until it is a thick, creamy mass.
