Mince with Potato Wall

Ingredients

• 1 lb. cold meat
• 2 lbs. potatoes
• 2 ozs. butter
• yolks of 2 eggs
• parsley 1 tablespoonful
• 1 tablespoonful of milk

Method

1. 1

   Make some stock with bones of meat, and with the stock some good brown sauce nicely seasoned.

2. 2

   Let this boil well, and put in the meat, finely minced, five minutes before serving.

3. 3

   Draw the stewpan off the fire, and on no account let it boil when the meat is in, or the meat will be tough.

4. 4

   Pass the potatoes through a wire sieve, then put the butter in a stewpan, add the potatoes and the yolks of two eggs; mix well, and cook gently until the mixture leaves the sides of the stewpan; then turn on to a board and shape it into a high wall, place it on a hot dish, put the mince in the centre, and decorate with poached eggs or baked tomatoes on the top, and sprigs of parsley round.
