Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 January 1916 — Boiled Potatoes With Onion Sauce. [ARTICLE]

Boiled Potatoes With Onion Sauce.

, Boiled potatoes in their jackets with bacon and onion sauce. The potatoes are cooked soft in boiling water and sent to table smoking hot, still in their skins, with a bit of salt sprinkled over them. Each person peels his own potato and eats it with this sauce. Get half a pound of smoked bacon, not too fat, remove the rind and chop into small dice; fry until they begin to crisp, then add an equal amount of chopped onion, mix and cook slowly, stirring occasionally until the onion is a fine yellow color, but not to blacken. Serve hot in gravy boat. It has a delicious flavor and is not as indigestible as it sounds.
