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
