Potato Pie Get two slices of cold meat, and chop them very small. Peel four potatoes, and put them into a saucepan with sufficient cold water to cover them, and a pinch of salt sprinkled over. Let the potatoes boil gently till a fork goes into them easily. Strain off the water, and mash in the saucepan, with a lump of butter the size of a walnut. Pry half a sliced onion in a tea- spoonful of dripping, add a teaspoonful of flour, sprinkled by degrees over the onion. When it makes a little brown ball in the frying-pan, add a teacupful of water, or stock
