George Washington's Stoved Potatoes and Mutton Chops

From Shari's collection of old-fashioned recipes, this easy recipe is about 200 years old.

10 medium potatoes

2 cups thick cream

3 pounds thinly sliced mutton chops

Pepper

3 cups minced onions

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons butter

Method

Peel and slice potatoes.

Place 1/3 of the potatoes in greased Dutch oven or large casserole; pour half the cream over potatoes. Arrange 1/2 of the mutton chops over potatoes; sprinkle with salt. Repeat layers, ending with potatoes; dot with butter. Bake in preheated 300-325F oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until potatoes are tender.

Serves 8-10.

This dish was supposed to have been served to George Washington for Christmas dinner in 1776.
