Escalloped Sweet Potatoes Recipe

From MRS. BERIAH WILKINS, of District of Columbia, Fifth Vice-
President, Board of Lady Managers.
Slice six raw potatoes as thin as wafers. This can be done with a
sharp knife, although there is a little instrument for the purpose, to
be had at the house furnishing stores, which flutes prettily as well
as slices evenly. Lay in ice water a few minutes; then put a layer in
the bottom of a pudding dish, and over this sprinkle salt and pepper
and small bits of butter; then another layer of potatoes and so on
until the dish is full. Pour over this a pint of milk, stick bits of
butter thickly over it, cover the dish, set it in the oven, bake half
an hour. Remove the cover if not sufficiently brown.
