AU eyes are on the potato. A serving of pota­ toes every day is demanded by food rules for good health. Some people follow this rule without giving it a thought. But not every­ one is quite that enthusiastic about our good friend the potato which puts it up to the cook to do a spot of luring, with a different .presentation of the valued vegetab­ le as bait. There are some who have boasted that they need not serve potatoes twice ,the same way in a whole calendar year. • I do not approve too much of that procedure myself, looking at the question from the dietic point of view. There are some ways to serve potatoes which make them much more valuable, ^nutritionally, than other ways can ever do—and so these should be featured. It is well established that the best part of the .vegetable lies just beneath the skin too closely allied to that for us to hope to do any peeling in the raw state .without cutting away very valuable constituents. So, of course our best practice is to cook the potato, skin and all—which means for the most part, steamin oi’ boiling or baking. The last me­ thod is supreme favourite, both' from the enjoyment and the nut­ ritional point of view. But there are other factors to be considered besides the straight question of what is the one best thing to do with a food product. Potatoes can be substituted for many expensive or hard-to-get foods .For example, mashed pota­ toes can be used to thicken soups instead of flour and bacon fat, to thicken sauces instead of flour and butter, to substitute ,for crumbs in poultry dressing, in pancake batter for flavour, in yeast mixture for good texture, add to omelettes to make more of this dish, in dump­ lings (cooked or raw), also iu many supper dishes as potato-fish pie, scalloped potatoes with saus­ ages, split weiners filled with mashed potatoes, potato' souffle, pigs in ’taters, potatoes in half shell, potato-celery and nut loaf and vegetable plates. , POTATO CELERY LOAF % cup diced celery, % cup chopped nuts, 3 cups mashed potatoes, 3 tbsps. fat, 1 egg (beaten), 1 tsp. salt, Vs tsp. paprika, 2 tsps, grated onion. Cook celery until tender in small amount of .boiling salted water. Drain off liquid. (This may be used for soup stock.) Add re­ maining ingredients in order listed Mix well, pack in greased loaf pan and 'bake in electric oven (350 degs.) 35 minutes. Serve with tomato souce. Serves 6. GRATED POTATO SOUP 6 cups soup stock or con­ somme, thin slice of garlic, 1 medium onion (minced) 6 po­ tatoes (grated). Heat stock ,to boiling and add remaining ingredients. Simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Season > with salt and pep­ per. Serves 8. -5 POTATOES WITH SAVORY SAUCE 4 potatoes, 2 small onions cut into rings, 4 tbsps. fat 2, ent organizations of the church by Mr. Mair. At the close of the meet­ ing lunch was served and a social hour spent.. Y.P. Meeting The Y.P.U. met in the church basement Friday evening with thd vice-president, Jack Stewart, in charge.
