Ingredients:
2 cups mashed potato, cold and free from lumps
2 eggs beaten to a froth
1 table-spoonful melted butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg beaten in a separate vessel
1 teacupful cracker-crumbs
Preparation:
- Work the butter well into mashed potato until the latter is smooth, then the eggs and butter, beating hard for two or three minutes with a wooden spoon, season, and make into balls or rolls with floured hands.
- Roll in egg and cracker, and fry in boiling lard. Take up as soon as they are done, and drain perfectly dry.
- This is an excellent preparation of potato, and particularly acceptable at breakfast or luncheon.
