Mont D'Or Potatoes

4 Idaho potatoes (about 1 1/4 lbs.) 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion Salt to taste if desired 1 egg yolk 2 t. butter Pepper to taste 1 cup milk 2 T. grated cheese, preferably Swiss

Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise in half. Cut each half crosswise into 4 pieces. Put pieces in pan. Add onion and water to cover. Add salt if desired. Bring to boil. Let cook about 15 minutes or until potatoes re tender. Preheat oven to 450 or preheat broiler. Drain potatoes and pour and scrape the solids into a sieve or ricer. Push the vegetables through ricer into pan. Add egg yolk and butter to potatoes and stir to mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper. Beat in milk. Spoon and scrape potato mixture into a small baking dish. Heap it up and smooth it over. Sprinkle with cheese. If potato mixture is hot, it is needed only to run it under the broiler until browned on top. If it isn't too hot, put in oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Serves 4 Source: My Old Recipes
