Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut the potatoes to the shape of large, elongated olives, and let each weigh about three oz.
  2. Gently cook them in butter, in a sautépan, and take care to turn them over.
  3. When they are cooked, withdraw them, so as to slightly flatten them with a fork without breaking them.
  4. Drain away their butter;
  5. return them to the sautépan with three oz.
  6. of fresh butter per every two lbs.
  7. of their weight, and cook them with lid on until they have entirely absorbed the butter.
