Potato Crust

An excellent crust is made with potatoes. Peel, boil and pass through a sieve, twelve potatoes. The other ingredients are: A gill of cream, two heaping tablespoonfuls of butter, a teaspoonful of salt, and enough flour to form the paste.

XX. Ingredients for Meat Pies.

For meat pies take a dozen slices of fried pork cut in pieces, together with the beef, veal or chicken, and stew all together in only water enough to form the gravy. Peel and slice potatoes and add them to the stew. Let the crust form the bottom, top and sides of the dish. Then form alternate layers of meat and crust, until the whole is finished, seasoning each layer of meat properly. Then pour on the liquor the meat was cooked in, until it just covers all; put on the top crust, and bake until the bottom crust is done and the top brown. If the liquor dries down, more must be added, or else water, in either case, boiling hot.
