POTATO CHIPS

To fry potatoes successfully, two things must be carefully attended to.

First of all dry the potatoes thoroughly, and then have very hot fat.  Peel the potatoes and dry them in a cloth. Cut into any shape—slices, strips, quarters, etc. and dry again. Have a good quantity of very hot fat ready, put the chips into a frying basket, and plunge into the fat.  Fry quickly, and directly they are brown enough they are done. Throw them on to some kitchen paper to drain off the fat. Pile high on a dish, sprinkle with salt, and serve very hot.

Boil the cabbage by directions given, strain away the water and press it very dry. Put the butter into a saucepan, and when it is dissolved, chop up the cabbage and put a layer at the bottom of the saucepan.  Sprinkle over some grated cheese, pepper, and salt, then more cabbage and cheese, until all are used up. Simmer gently for fifteen minutes, slip it on to a hot dish, and serve.
