POTATO PASTE

BOIL mealy potatos quite soft, first taking off the skins; rub them while hot through a sieve, put them in a stew pan over the fire, with as much water as will make it the consistence of thick mush; sift one quart of flour, and make it into a paste; with this mush, knead it till light, roll it out thin, make the dumplins. small — fill them with apples, or any other fruit — tie them up in a thick cloth, and boil them nicely — eat them with butter, sugar, and nutmeg.
