Pigs in 'Taters

This potato recipe comes from the 1942 Breakfast and Brunch Cook Book. Its an interesting little book with some unusual recipes. But it also goes back to basics.. e.g how to cook bacon... fry or poach an egg... and even how to make coffee.

 

I thought I would try this one as I would never think of having baked potatoes for breakfast, To me its more of  a lunch or an accompaniment with dinner, which is how we ate them.

I didnt change the recipe and were quite tasty.  However,  I did cook the sausages first..as suggested... and my hubby had grated cheese on his. He was quite surprised when he cut into his and found the sausage.

6 large potatoes 

6 tablespoons butter 

4/2 teaspoons milk 

1/2 teaspoons salt 

Dash paprika 

1/2 pound small sausages

 

• Bake potatoes. 
• Cut a slice from 1 side of each, then scoop out the inside. 
• Mash with butter, milk, salt and paprika
• Beat until fluffy. 
• Refill potato shells
• Make a hollow in the center of each and fill with sausages. 
• Bake in moderate oven (350°F.) until potatoes are brown and sausages are thoroughly cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes. 
• Sausages may be fried first, then the filled potatoes heated under moderate broiler heat.
