Salt Fish Souffle

Peel eight potatoes, and boil them for thirty minutes. Drain the water from them, and mash them very fine; then mix in thoroughly about a pound of finely-shredded boiled salt cod or other fish. Add two table-spoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper, and three-quarters of a breakfast-cupful of milk. Beat up two eggs, stir them into the mixture, and put it in the dish in which it is to be served. Place in the oven for ten minutes. Beat the whites of another two eggs to a stiff froth, and add a quarter of a tea-spoonful of salt; then add the yolks; spread this over the dish of fish. Return to the oven until brown, and serve at once.
