Pommes de Terre Hachees a la Creme et au Gratin

Peel some boiled potatoes after they are cold; chop them up and lay in a sautoir with butter, salt, nutmeg, white pepper and cream; boil and simmer until the preparation has acquired a sufficient consistency, then serve in a vegetable dish.

Baked.-Butter the bottom of a dish, bestrew it with bread-raspings, and fill slightly bomb-shaped with chopped potatoes and cream as the above; dredge more bread-raspings over, pour on some butter, wipe the edges of the dish, and bake in a hot oven.
