Escalloped Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Boil the potatoes the day before. Peel and slice them rather thick. In

the bottom of a baking-dish put bits of butter, sprinkle sugar and put

a layer of potato. Then more butter, sugar and potato, until the pan is

full. Let the top be strewn with sugar and bits of butter and pour over

it a teacupful of water. Put it in the oven, and after it begins to

cook, once or twice moisten the top with a little butter and water to

dissolve the sugar and prevent its merely drying on top of the potato.

Use a teacupful of sugar and half a pound of butter to a half gallon pan

of potato. Bake slowly.
