Irish Stew
For Irish stew, take the following: two pounds of potatoes; two pounds of neck of mutton; four onions; one-half pint of hot water; pepper and salt. Cut the mutton into pieces, and arrange in a stewpan in alternation with the potatoes and the sliced onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add the hot water. Cover closely, and let the stew cook gently for two hours, shaking the pan occasionally. Serve very hot.
