Baked Eggs Put two cups of mashed potatoes, well seasoned into a buttered baking dish, and shape into little hollows or "nests", each large enough to hold an egg.

This makes a nice breakfast break-fast or supper dish, served with a little cold, sliced ham, if you have it. If preferred, a new gem pan may be used for shaping the nests in, removing re-moving them to the dish from which they are to be served when done. |
