Cold boiled vegetables can be revived with melted butter or white sauce and made into a jardiniere in brun or blanche. Large vegetables like carrots and turnips serve in sauce, peas and beans in heaps at the edge, and cauliflower in separate tufts. Cold mashed potatoes become Duchesse with flour, butter, milk, and egg yolk, fried to a golden crust. Mashed potato adds richness to scones and puddings, while hot potato cake remains a North country favorite.
