Potato Nest

Mash half a pound of cold boiled potatoes, and line a well-buttered pie-dish with them. Cut three or four slices of ham into pieces about two inches square; put these into the pie-dish on top of the potatoes, and sprinkle with a little cayenne. Bake for about fifteen minutes; then take from the oven and break four eggs into the mould, being careful to preserve the yolks whole. Then return to the oven and bake until the eggs are well cooked.
