4 large cold boiled potatoes. 4 eggs. 1 pint of cream. 3 ounces of cheese. Salt and paprika.
Cut the potatoes into thin slices and arrange in layers in a buttered dish; sprinkle each layer with cheese, salt, and paprika and pour over a little of the eggs, beaten and mixed with the cream. Bake about half an hour. Serve as a luncheon dish, or at a family dinner with boiled ham, or broiled beefsteak.

Select shapely sweet potatoes of even size; wash and scrub with care. Bake and cut in halves lengthwise. Remove the pulp from the skins and pass it through a ricer. Season with salt, butter, and cream. Beat until smooth, then refill the skins with the mixture, using pastry bag and star tube. Reheat before serving. If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar and cinnamon before reheating.
