Fried Potato Balls with Herbs.— Prepare the Potatoes as for Potato Snow. When they are quite dry remove the skins, and mash the Potatoes with a tablespoonful of milk and half an ounce of butter to every pound. Pound well together when cold, add a dessertspoonful of minced thyme, parsley, and, if liked, shallot. (The herbs must not be more than one dessertspoonful altogether.) Work in the yolks of two eggs
