Potatoes

Pommes de Terre

Procure lead molds resembling medium-sized potatoes; fill them with chestnut ice cream (No. 3465) and stuff the centers with biscuits soaked in maraschino, also a salpicon of fruits. Freeze for half an hour, then unmold. Roll them in grated sweet chocolate and imitate the eyes by sticking in sticks of almonds; dress on a napkin and serve separately a sauce made of whipped cream and a little maraschino.
