Sweet Potato Pie.
Parboil; skin; cool, and slice crosswise firm sweet potatoes. Line a pie-dish with a good crust; put in a layer of sliced potatoes; sprinkle abundantly with sugar; scatter in four or five whole cloves, and cover with more slices. Fill the dish thus: put in a liberal tablespoonful of melted butter; pour in a little water and a teaspoonful of lemon-juice; cover with puff-paste, and bake. Eat cold. This is a Virginia dish, and very nice.
