    Dash of salt

    3/4 stick butter
    2 slices lemon
    1 tablespoon flour

    TO PREPARE:

    Peel and cut potatoes as for thick french fries. Place in 8" x
    12" x 2" baking dish. Cover potatoes with sugar and salt.
    Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the sugar. More can be used.
    Cover with pieces of butter. Twist slices of lemon over this
    and place peel in with potatoes. Sift flour evenly over
    potatoes. Add water to mixture so it may be barely seen. Bake
