Potato Cake, Sweet

Bake the required number of potatoes, and when they are done enough, burst them, and scoop out the contents with a spoon. Crush them until they are quite smooth, and weigh them. Mix with half a pound of potato, two ounces of powdered sugar, a little candied-peel cut into thin strips, and the well-beaten yolks of three eggs. When these ingredients are thoroughly blended, add the whites of the eggs beaten to a firm froth. Put the mixture into a buttered dish, sift a little sugar over the surface, and bake in a brisk oven. Serve the cake hot in the dish in which it was baked. Time to bake, about half an hour. Probable cost, 10d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
