Stewed Kidneys And Potatoes Recipe

Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

Wash one quart of potatoes, (cost three

cents,) pare off one ring from each, and put them to boil in well salted

boiling water. Choose a very fresh beef's kidney, (cost fifteen cents,)

cut it in thin slices, removing all the white vessels and membranes, fry

it quickly for five minutes in one ounce of smoking hot drippings, (cost

one cent,) season it with half a teaspoonful of salt, and quarter of a

teaspoonful of pepper, a teaspoonful each of chopped parsley, onion, and

vinegar; shake into it from the dredging box one tablespoonful of flour,

add one pint of boiling water, and boil gently for fifteen minutes. By

this time the potatoes will be done, and both dishes must be served at

once, because the kidneys will grow tough and indigestible if they are

cooked more than twenty minutes in all. They will make a plentiful

dinner, including bread and butter, for about twenty-five cents.
