lf teaspoons of salt,
One teaspoon of paprika.

Now drain and pat dry twenty-five oysters. Add to sauce and heat
slowly until boiling point is reached. Cook for five minutes and then
fill into shells and serve at once.

STEAMED OYSTERS

Scrub the oysters in the shell and place in a colander over a pot of
boiling water. Cover closely until the shell opened and the oyster
starts to curl. Remove from the steamer and lift off the flat shell,
serving in the deep shell with lightly seasoned melted butter, celery
and slice of lemon.

SWEET POTATOES

Sweet potatoes are the roots or tubes of a vine-like plant; it is a
native of tropical climate, but it is grown in states as far north
as New York. The delicious yams of the southern states and the West
Indies are made into many attractive foods. The food value of the
sweet potato is closely allied to that of the white potato, but it
contains from 4 to 10 per cent. sugar, where the ordinary white potato
has no sugar. And, then, too, this common vegetable will provide a
variety of delectable dishes.

SWEET POTATO CROQUETTES

Wash and cook the potatoes until tender. Use six large sweet potatoes.
Drain, cool and peel. Mash fine and then place in a bowl and add

One tablespoon of butter,
Two tablespoons of finely minced parsley,
One teaspoon of salt,
One-half teaspoon of pepper.

Mould into croquettes and then dip in beaten egg and then in fine
crumbs and fry golden brown in hot fat. Serve with cheese sauce.

SWEET POTATO NESTS

Cook sweet potatoes and peel and mash and then form into nests. Place
the nests on a well-greased baking dish and fill with creamed dried
beef. Place in the oven for ten minutes and heat. Sprinkle with grated
cheese.

Sweet potatoes may be used for a border for stews, for goulashes,
etc. Try this method of baking the potato: Wash well, scrubbing with
a vegetable brush. Dry and then grease thoroughly and place in oven to
bake. This method prevents a thick coarse skin from forming with the
pulp attached to it.

FRENCH FRIED SWEET POTATOES

Pare and cut the potatoes as for French frying and then cook in hot
fat until golden brown.

BROILED SWEET POTATOES

Pare cold, boiled potatoes and then cut in thin slices. Dip in bacon
fat and broil in a broiler until golden brown.

SWEET POTATO COOKIES

One cup of brown sugar,
Four tablespoons of shortening.

Cream well and then add

One cup of mashed sweet potatoe
