Cold potatoes are very good fried for breakfast with scraps of bacon; if
they have been mashed, make them out in cakes with a little flour, and
fry them brown, or slice them.


Tomatoes.

If you wish to bake tomatoes in the oven with bread, pour boiling water
on, and skin them; cut them in small pieces; season with salt and
pepper, and put them in a pan with crumbs of bread and butter; cover the
pan with a plate, and bake three-quarters of an hour; when done, mash
them and take them out on a dish.


To Fry Tomatoes.

Slice them, season with pepper and salt, and fry in hot butter; if they
are green, dip them in flour after being seasoned.


Tomato Omelet.

Pour boiling water on the tomatoes, skin and cut them fine; to one quart
of this, put two chopped onions and a lump of butter the size of an egg;
let them boil half an hour, then mash them; put in grated bread, pepper,
salt, and the yelks of two eggs.
