Sausage, Gratinee

Boil six medium potatoes in salted water for thirty-five minutes, drain, then press through a potato masher into a saucepan. Add one ounce grated Parmesan cheese, one egg yolk, one ounce butter, a half teaspoon salt, two saltspoons pepper, a saltspoon grated nutmeg, and stir with a wooden spoon on the fire for five minutes. Dress the puree dome shape on a baking dish. Split twelve country sausages in halves lengthwise, place in a frying pan with a tablespoon melted butter and cook for two minutes on each side. Lift up with a fork, arrange them around and against the mashed potatoes, pour butter in pan over all and sprinkle a little fresh bread crumbs on top. Set in oven until a nice brown colour, or about twelve minutes, remove and send to table in same dish.
