OYSTERS A LA NEWBURG

  One and one-half cups of thick cream sauce,
  Yolks of two eggs,
  Juice of one lemon,
  One and one-half 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.
