Method

Make a béchamel sauce with the flour, half of the butter, and as much milk as necessary. Pour cooked potatoes that have been passed through a sieve into the sauce. Put on the fire, stirring as you add the remaining butter, salt, and as much milk as makes it not too soft. When it has cooled, add the remaining ingredients and bake until golden brown as in the preceding recipe.
