Baked Potatoes with Breadcrumbs

Peel, boil and mash a pound or so of potatoes passing them through a sieve; then pile them upon a dish in the form of a small cone, sprinkle over them some breadcrumbs, and pour over a little warmed butter; put the dish in the oven and allow it to remain there for a few minutes until the breadcrumbs have become well-browned, remove, and serve in the dish in which they are baked.
