Potatoes Scalloped with Eggs.
2 cups of mashed potatoes; 3 tablespoonfuls of milk, and 2 of butter; yolks of 4 hard-boiled eggs; 1 beaten raw egg; handful fine crumbs; salt and pepper.
Beat the hot potatoes smooth with milk, butter, and raw egg, and season well. Put a layer in the bottom of a buttered bake-dish; then one of sliced yolks, peppered and salted. Fill the dish in this order, having potatoes on top. Strew with crumbs; cover; bake half an hour, and brown.
Apple Pie and Cream.
Pare, core, and slice juicy, well-flavored apples; line pie-dishes with a good crust; put in a layer of fruit; strew well with sugar; scatter half a dozen whole cloves upon these; lay on more apples, and so on, until the dish is full. Cover with crust, and bake. Sift powdered sugar upon the top and eat, just warm, with—or without—cream.
