4 medium potatoes
2 T. butter
Salt and pepper
2/3 c. milk

Peel and dice potatoes, brown slightly in butter in skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Pour milk over all. Cook with cover on skillet slightly ajar, to keep milk from boiling over.

Apple Pie

"America's Favorite Desert"

Use master patry mix for double crust pie. Use 2 1/2 c. of mix and about 5 T. cold water, or use the standard pie crust recipe as listed below:


Standard Pie Crust:

2 c. flour
2/3 c. shortening
1 t. salt
5 T. cold water (about)

Sift flour with salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal and some of the pieces of fat are the size of peas. Add cold water a little at a time, use just enough to hold mixture together.


Filling:

5 to 6 cups sliced apples
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
3/4 t. cinnamon
1 T. flour
2 T. butter

Roll 1/2 the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness and line pie plate. Combine sugar, cinnamon and flour. Sprinkle 1/3 of sugar mixture on bottom crust. Add sliced apples. Sprinkle remaining sugar mixture on top of apples. Dot with butter. Roll out remaining pasty, making gashes or a design to allow escape of steam, place over apples. Seal edges of crust. Brush with light cream or milk. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 for 30 minutes. Total baking time 50 minutes.
