No. 90 Baked Potatoes With Sage and Onion
2 large potatoes.
6 onions.
2 teaspoons sage.
1 ounce bread crumbs.
2 ounces butter.
½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthways into slices about half an inch thick, place six of these slices in a baking tin or dish which has been well greased with one and a half ounces of the butter. In the meantime peel and boil the onions for a quarter of an hour in a little salted water, and the sage (tied in a piece of muslin) with them for the last five minutes. Chop the onions and sage and mix with the bread crumbs, salt, pepper and half an ounce of butter, and spread the mixture thickly over the slices of potato, and bake for one and a half or two hours.
Apple sauce should be served with this dish and a rich gravy.
