Fish And Potato Pie Recipe

Twenty-five Cent Dinners For Families Of Six

Use any cheap fish which does not cost more than

five or six cents a pound, such as cod, haddock, or blue-fish; cut two

pounds of fish, (cost twelve cents,) in pieces about an inch thick and

two inches long; lay them in a deep dish with a pint of cold gravy of

any kind, or cold water, season with a tablespoonful each of chopped

parsley and onion, and a teaspoonful of salt, pepper, and thyme, mixed

together in equal quantities, and sprinkled among the fish; put it into

the oven for fifteen or twenty minutes to partly cook. Put one quart of

potatoes, (cost three cents,) into boiling water, and boil until soft

enough to mash; mash them, season them with salt and pepper, and put

them over the fish, which you must take from the oven, as a crust;

return the pie again to the oven to brown the crust, and then serve it

with bread and butter. Twenty-five cents will cover the cost of all, and

the dinner will be a good one.
