1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
2/3 cup hot milk
3 lg potatoes
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tbsp grated onion
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp melted butter

Soften the bread crumbs in the hot milk. Pare, wash, and grate the potatoes on a fine grater. Pour off most of the potato water. Combine the potatoes with the bread crumbs and the remaining ingredients except the melted butter. Butter a shallow baking dish very generously. Spoon the mixture into it, and then sprinkle the top with the melted butter. Bake it in a moderate oven (350 F) for 45 minutes. Cut into squares. Serve very hot with sour cream and cottage cheese.
