Irish Potato Custard

1 cup boiled and mashed potatoes. 1/2 cup cream. 2 egg yolks. 1/2 cup sugar. A little nutmeg.

Put in pastry and bake. Make meringue. This makes one large custard. Sweet potatoes may be used the same way.

All berry pies are made in the same way, some requiring more sugar than others. Blackberries and raspberries are put in pastry before cooking, also cherries. Gooseberries and pie plant must be heated to boiling point and strained, then seasoned.
