Boil sweet potatoes until tender. Slice in ¼ inch pieces. Butter baking dish and put a layer of sweet potatoes in bottom, then a layer of apples.

SWEET POTATO CROQUETTES
- 1 pt. mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 tblsp. butter
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tblsp. sugar
- 1 egg white
- bread crumbs
Mash sweet potatoes very fine and add salt, sugar and melted butter. Shape into croquette rolls or patties and chill in the refrigerator for a half hour. Then roll in bread crumbs, dip in the egg white, slightly beaten, and in the crumbs again. Bake in a shallow, greased baking dish for 20 minutes, in hot oven (400-f). For a modern variation of this old recipe, place a marshmallow in the center of each with the potato mixture coating it completely.
SCHNITZEL BEANS
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 qt. string beans
- 3 medium onions, sliced
- 2 cups tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 1 cup hot water
Dice the bacon and fry until crisp. Slice the onions and fry until soft. Cut the beans into small (1-inch) pieces and brown them slightly with the bacon and onions. Add the tomatoes, seasoning and boiling water. Cover and cook very slowly until beans are tender. Add water if necessary, so there will be a little sauce to serve with the beans.
