The potato is More than 18 , per cent, starch, though it Contains mineral matter and other qualities as well. :The starch is the most important and the largest in, gredient in the potato, therefore it, is the one which must be considered first in: the cooking of this vegetable. wr-c— you may have on hand, tieing a cupful pr lees to this quantity of batter, Fry in the hot fat after the meat has been taken sup, dropping by spoonfuls. -Serve on platter with the meat.

Starch in ally form requires intense heat to bring it to perfection, and the starch in the potato, because it is im- prisoned or inclosed by the -'cellulose, demands plenty of heat at the very outset of its cooking. Therefore,, if the potato is to be boiled, it must be plunged quickly .into rapidly boiling water. Another reason for this neces- sity, of boiling water is found in the cellulose structure, for only intense heat will break clown these woody walls. Therefore, it is quite' plain that if the: potato were to be put into cold or tepid or even fairly hot Water, the woody or cellulose section ^Would ab- sorb the water and so toughen it that the starchy particles, instead of burst- ing out suddenly; into the floury meati- ness so desirable, would become soggy and moist.
