Potato Pie

DDV CULINARY

Mash about a pound of boiled potatoes,
a tea-spoonful of salt,
a cup of sweet, rich cream,
an ounce of butter;
spread it in a baking pan, as you would crust;
take cold ham, chicken, beef, or any tender meat,
mince it neatly, and lay it in the pan,
pour over it a few table-spoonsful of catsup, either walnut or tomato,
then another layer of potatoes, then meat, finally a crust of potatoes.
Bake it very gradually, but be sure that it is hot throughout.
