Potatoes a la Creme Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Potatoes a la Creme Recipe, first boil some potatoes of a firm kind in the usual way. Take a small, sharp, thin-bladed knife and cut them into thin slices. Put 1 pint of these into a stewpan with 1 teaspoonful of salt, 1 ounce of butter, a little pepper, salt, and grated nutmeg, and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Pour 1/4 of a pint of cream over the top, cover the saucepan closely, and shake it over the fire for eight or ten minutes. Place the potatoes on a hot dish, and be very careful not to break them.
