Potato Quote

‘Boiling or cooking potatoes fresh for a party is one of the most disturbing preparations. Potatoes—the starting of which usually coincides with the drink you serve, and the finishing of which usually coincides with the one part of the conversation Madam would be sorry to miss.’

— ‘Potatoes—A Party Problem’, What You Should Know about your New Frigidaire and Some Tested Recipes (c.1950).
