Beef Baked with Potatoes

DDV CULINARY

Boil some potatoes, peel, and pound them in a mortar with one or two small onions;
moisten them with milk and an egg beaten up; add a little salt and pepper.
Season slices of beef, or mutton chops, with salt and pepper, and more onion,
if the flavor is approved; rub the bottom of a pudding dish with butter,
and put a layer of the mashed potatoes, which should be as thick as a batter,
and then a layer of meat, and so on alternately till the dish is filled, ending with potatoes.
Bake it in an oven for one hour.
