Vegetable Marrow With Potato Balls Recipe

1 vegetable marrow.

10 or 12 floury potatoes.

1 egg.

1 1/2 ounces butter.

Pepper and salt.



Peel the potatoes, boil until tender, strain, and dry them well. Mash

with a large fork, add pepper and salt to taste, half an ounce of butter

and the yolk of egg, beat the white to a stiff froth and add last. Form

the potatoes into nice-shaped balls about the size of a small orange,

and place them in a baking tin in which one ounce of butter has been

dissolved, brush them over with a little of the butter, and brown in the

oven. In the meantime, boil the vegetable marrow whole until tender

(from half to three-quarters of an hour), when done, peel it, cut it

into slices about one and a half inches thick, remove the seeds, lay the

pieces in a dish, and place in the oven for a few minutes to dry off;

then sprinkle a little pepper and salt over, and place a ball of potato

in the centre of each piece of marrow. Pour tomato or other sauce over,

and serve.
