Bread 28. 4. 38.

Then they used get a few of the biggest potatoes ,and "champions"they used usually get. They used pick the eyes out of them ,and give them a rough peeling.
Then they used spread a whits cloth on the table ,grate the potatoes in it and squeeze them so that the dampness would leave them.Then when they used be done they used flatten them out in the shape of a cake .They used not put any milk on them as is done nowadays(continues on next page)
