Bake in moderate oven, 35u jhai fnr an minutes, or unitl thoroughly heated and lightly browned. Serves i 10 o. ourapo of leftover cooked meat or sliced frankfurters may be used in place of potted meat. Ilplnflll Hints Feeling Potatoes: Peel only a narrow strip around white po tatoes to be boiled. The skin will then come off easily when the potatoes are cooked. Salty Soup: Cut a raw po tato In half and put It in a small kettle of soup that is too salty. Boil for a short time until over-saltiness disappears; then remove potato. Mashing more lightly: Hot milk is bcter than cold milk for adding to potatoes to be mash ed. A teaspoon of baking pow der added before mashing will make them light and creamy, too .... especially if they're whipped briskly. Browning fried potatoes: Sprinkle the sliced potatoes to bo fried with a little pinch of flour to make them a golden brown color. Peeling onions: To help keep eyes from watering when peel ing onions, try holding a crust of bread between your teeth with one end projecting out ward. Pouring scalding water over onions before you begin peeling, will also help prevent this annoyance, as well as peel ing under water. Onion odors can be removed from a knife by running it through a raw potato. If you want to remove onion odors on your hands, try rubbing them briskly with celery salt before washing. If you want to re move onion-breath, try eating a half dozen sprigs of parsley which have been dipped in salt or vinegar. Polishing jobs: Rubbing tin objects strongly with a raw onion should give them a sparkling new polish. You can also thine brass ornaments by using a soft cloes which has been dipped in the juice of a boiled onion.
