Salmon and Potato Pie

Take the remains of cold boiled salmon. Free the flesh from skin and bone, divide it into small pieces, and season each pound of them with a tea-spoonful of salt, half a tea-spoonful of white pepper, and a grain of cayenne. Butter a shallow pie-dish, and spread over the bottom a layer of potatoes which have been mashed lightly with a little butter, milk, and the yolk of an egg. Put the pieces of fish on the potato, moisten with any fish sauce that may be left, and cover with another layer of potato. Rough the top of the pie with a fork, and put it in a brisk oven till the surface is brightly browned and the pie is quite hot. Serve it in the dish in which it was baked. Time to bake, about half an hour. Probable cost, 1s. 6d. Sufficient for four or five persons.
