Autumn Dress For Pofafoes | CHICAGO, IlL, Oct. 26, — Mashed potato has donned a new dress—for the benefit of restaurant men. And, perhaps the housewives would like to take a few notes, too. At any rate, | the “style show” was put on in Chi- | cago ‘at the annual convention of the National Restaurant Associa- ticn. It seems that, in Idaho, a new process has been developed whereby they come out looking something like dry shredded cocoanut. | Undar the process, about 11 pounds | of fresh potatoes can be condensed into one pound of the shredded pro- | duct. Then, after the shreds are scaked in hot water for five minutes, are ready to be whipped in the usual way. So — even the lowlyI mashed potato steps forth in new autumnal garb. But—this was not the only thing to - delight the restaurant keepers. There was a machine which made “mock chicken legs” from two s S of pork and veal.
