POTATO SALAD.

Boil some potatoes with the rind on until nicely done, then pare and cut them into slices about the thickness of a penny, and let them remain until nearly cold, then add three table spoonfuls of vinegar and two of oil, with a little salt and pepper. Serve with cold meat.

Macaroni

MACCARONI [sic] MILANESE.

 

Throw the maccaroni [sic] in boiling water with some salt in it. Let it have plenty of room, and be well covered with water. Boil it twenty five minutes; drain it in a colander; then put it in a deep dish in alternate layers of macaroni and grated cheese ; lay on the top slices of fresh butter, pour over it milk and cream, enough to cover the whole, and place the dish in an oven where it can cook at the top and bottom equally. In fifteen or twenty minutes it will be done. Serve it up immediately.
