Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Escalloped potatoes recipe.

Mash some potatoes in the usual way with butter and a small amount of hot milk. Butter some scallop-shells or patty-pans, fill them with the mashed potatoes, make them smooth on the top, and after that draw the back of a fork over them. Sprinkle finely grated bread crumbs on the top, and lay small pieces of butter here and there upon them. Put the scalloped potatoes in a Dutch oven prior to the stove till they are brightly browned, and serve on a neatly folded napkin in the scallop-shells. Time, about a quarter of an hour to brown the potatoes. Sufficient, one scallop-shell for each person.
