Boil the potatoes just a little over half done; slice them very thin; after lining the pan with nice pastry, just a little thicker than ordinary, put on a layer of potatoes, then one of chopped apples, a few raisins (seeded and cut), with a few currants, then 3/4 cupful sugar, with bits of butter here and there; repeat this; sprinkle on top a little nutmeg and cinnamon, and pour over a teacupful of sherry wine; cover with top crust and bake not too rapidly. If the potatoes are boiled too much, the whole is a failure. MRS. C. H. BELVIN.
