Potatoes, Duchesse

Prepare a potato puree. Divide it into six equal parts. Spread a little flour on a corner of a table, roll each piece of potato in the flour, then give to each a nice heart-shaped form; nicely criss-cross their surfaces with a knife. Butter a small pastry pan with a teaspoon butter, arrange the potatoes over, lightly butter their surface. Place the pan in a hot oven and bake for ten minutes, or until of a fine golden colour. Remove from the oven and with a skimmer lift them up and place on a dish with a folded napkin and serve.
