Potato Pumpkin

Ingredients

• 1 pumpkin
• forcemeat

Instructions

1. Get one of a good colour, and seven or eight inches in diameter.
2. Cut a piece off the top, take out all the seeds, wash and wipe the cavity, and pare the rind off.
3. Fill the hollow with good forcemeat.
4. Put the top on and set it in a deep pan, to protect the sides.
5. Bake it in a moderate oven.
6. Put it carefully in the dish without breaking, and it will look like a handsome mould.
7. Another way of cooking potato pumpkin is to cut it in slices, pare off the rind, and make a puree as directed for turnips.
