One-quarter peck of onions,
Fifteen pound turkey,
One bunch of parsley,

FILLET OF CODFISH, TARTARE SAUCE
Divide slices into neat fillets and season and roll in flour. Dip in beaten egg and then roll in fine crumbs. Fry until golden brown in hot fat.
TARTARE SAUCE
Use eggless mayonnaise as a base for this sauce. Place in a soup plate
Three tablespoons of evaporated milk,
One teaspoon of mustard,
One teaspoon of paprika,
One-quarter teaspoon of white pepper.
Mix and then beat one cup of salad oil and then add
One-half cup of finely chopped parsley,
Three onions, grated,
One large sour pickle, chopped fine,
One tablespoon of vinegar,
One teaspoon of salt.
Mix well and then serve cold.
In preparing the potato balls, use the left-over portion after making the balls into mashed potatoes. Cook the balls in boiling water, usually about ten minutes. Drain and then cover with a cloth to make mealy. Then roll in melted butter and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley.
CANDIED SWEET POTATOES
Cook the potatoes in their skins and then cool and remove the skins. Now place in heavy iron frying pan
One and one-half cups of syrup,
One-half teaspoon of cinnamon,
One-half teaspoon of nutmeg.
Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and baste continually with the syrup, allowing them to simmer slowly for twenty minutes. Do not cut or slice the potatoes.
