Potatoes, Mashed and Browned

Boil a pound of mealy potatoes in their skins. When done enough, peel them, throw them into a bowl, and beat them lightly with an ounce of butter, two table-spoonfuls of cream or milk, a little pepper and salt, and the yolk of an egg. Butter a pie-dish, turn the mashed potatoes into it, brush over with the white of an egg, ornament on the top, and brown in a quick oven. Serve the potatoes in the dish. Time, half an hour or more to boil the potatoes, ten minutes to brown them. Probable cost, 5d. Sufficient for two persons.
