Boil two pounds of potatoes soft, then peel them.
Put them into a sauce-pan, put to them half a pint of milk, stir them about, and a little salt.
Then stir in a quarter of a pound of butter, keep stirring all the time till it is thick, that they can't stir the spoon in it hardly for stiffness.
Then put it into a halfpenny Welch dish, first buttering the dish.
Heap them as high as they will lie, flour them, pour a little melted butter over it and then a few crumbs of bread.
Set it into a tin oven before the fire; and when brown, lay it in the middle of the dish, (take great care you don't mash it).
Pour your ragoo round it and send it to table hot.
