layers into a buttered pan. Cover every layer with a sauces made of sour cream,
eggs, and Parmesan cheese, continuing in the manner until the pan is filled. For
4 persons take 1 pint of cream, 4 eggs and abot 3 ounces of cheese. Bake in an
oven for about 1/2 hour and serve as a side dish with ham, beefsteak and other
meats of a similar kind.
13. Stuffed Potatoes (an original receipt). Peel large potatoes , cut off a
slice, scoop them out and fill with a dressing made of roast meat remnants of
any kind, preferably pork; chop the meat very fine and mix with a few eggs,
chopped parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and grated bread; put a tablespoonful into
every potato and tie on with a thread the slice that has been cut off. Bake
slowly in plenty of fat until done; they should be lightly brown in color. This
makes an excellent side dish with greens and lettuce.
14. Potatoes with Apples. This dish in prepared best by cooking potatoes until
done in salted water and mashing them. Stir through them a piece of butter, then
mix with them an applesauce, which should be rather thick but not too sweet,
taking about 1/3 as many apples as yort have potatoes . In case the dish should
be too stiff, put in some boiling water and cook. When done, put into an
appropriate dish and cover with browned bread crumbs, or else pass with it
melted butter, sugar and browned cracker crumbs.
To save time the apples can be cut into pieces and be put with the potatoes
after the latter are fully half done, pouring off part of the water. Cook until
done, stir butter through it and bring to the table as already directed.
Serve with roast hare, sour beef, cutlets, fried liver, sausage, ham and chopped
meat balls.
15. Potatoes and fresh Pears are best cooked with a piece of lean pork which as
already been boiled until half done, otherwise with fat and butter; the pears
must be nearly done before the potatoes , which should first be boiled until
done, are put in with them.
