Batter Potato – Allinson Vegetarian Cookery Book
1-1/2 lbs. of potatoes, two good-sized English onions, 1 pint of milk,
1/2 lb. of Allinson fine wheatmeal, 3 eggs, 2-1/2 oz. of butter,
pepper and salt to taste. Peel and wash the potatoes, and slice them
1/4 inch thick, then dry them on a cloth. Chop fine the onions. Put
the butter into the frying-pan, and let it get boiling hot, turn into
it the potatoes and onions, and fry them together, stirring frequently
until the vegetables begin to brown and get soft. Make a batter of the
milk, meal, and eggs, stir the fried potatoes and onions into it, and
season with pepper and salt. Grease a pie-dish, turn the mixture into
it, and bake the savoury for 1-1/2 hours. Serve with vegetables and
tomato sauce. This is a very tasty dish.
