Ingredients

• 3 or 4 potatoes
• 1½ cups milk
• 1½ tablespoons flour
• 1½ tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Pepper

Utensils

• Vegetable-knife
• Baking-dish

Directions

1.

Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into thin slices.

2.

Put a layer of sliced potatoes in the baking-dish, sprinkle a part of the flour, salt, and pepper over the potato, and add some of the butter in small bits. Repeat this operation until all the potato, flour, and seasoning has been utilized.

3.

Pour the milk into the baking-dish, cover the dish, and put it in a moderate oven for an hour and a quarter. The cover should be off the dish and the heat increased during the last ten minutes of baking.

Remarks

Grated cheese may be added to each layer with the flour, butter, and other seasonings, if desired; and the top may be covered with buttered crumbs ten minutes before the dish is taken from the oven.
