Potato Brioches
8 medium potatoes
Salt
2 saltspoons white pepper
Butter
2 tbs flour
Peel eight medium, sound potatoes, cook them in two quarts water with a teaspoon salt for thirty-five minutes. Strain and press through potato masher into a bowl.

Note: It took a bit more then 8 minutes for me to get a good golden color.

Pear Pie, with Cinnamon
8 medium pears
1 ounce sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pie paste

Line a lightly buttered pie pate with a thin pie paste. Place the pears in the pie plate, lightly egg the edges of the plate; cover the pears with another similar layer of pie paste; make a few small incisions on the surface, press down the two layers of paste around the border of the plate; lightly egg the surface.
