Potato Pyramids

To one cup of well-seasoned mashed potatoes add one egg yolk. Beat until light. Take up by tablespoonfuls and form into pyramid shapes by pointing one end, and broadening the other as a base to stand on. Set them on a buttered tin, brush over with beaten egg, and when ready to serve, brown lightly in the oven. These make an attractive garnish for meat dishes. Mashed potatoes are more easily handled if shaped directly after a meal is over, while still slightly warm.
