Summary
This recipe was adapted from a little booklet put out in the 1930s by Westinghouse and Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. for the new electric range and oven. It contained 7 meals, each of which could be baked together in the oven. I've cut out this item and made it work and boy is it good. One note, I stopped peeling potatoes years ago so when I dice potatoes I leave the skin on. If you are seriously old fashioned and like doing extra work, go ahead and peel the potatoes.
