POTATO BUTTER.
In view -:of the extreme scarcity of
butter, the British, Food Ministry has
issued a recipe for potato butter which
costs less than ten cents a pound and
is said to be very saLlefactory,
Fol-
lowing is the method foi making It:
Peel the potatoes and boil until they
fall to pieces and become floury. Then
rub through a fine sieve 'nto a warm-
ed basin fourteen ounces of potatoes
and add two ounoes of oleomargarine
and one teaspoonful of salt. Stir un-
til .smooth and then mould into rolls
and keep in a cool place. If the in-
teethen is to keep it beyond a few
days a butter preservative should be
added.
