    2       lb           Potatoes
      1/4   c            Butter

   potatoes thoroughly. 2. Whip into the potatoes the
   butter and milk, and a mixture of the salt, sugar, MSG

   fluffy. Cool the potatoes and then chill in the
   refrigerator. 4. Set a heavy skillet or griddle over
   low heat to warm. Do not grease the skillet or
   griddle. 5. Remove the chilled potatoes from the

   about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 6 inch "rounds. 6. Test
   the griddle by dropping on it a few drops of cold

Piccadilly Cafeteria Lemon Ice Box Pie
Crust
			
1 box Jiffy Mix Yellow Cake Mix (prepared as directed)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Crumble cooled prepared cake and measure 2 cups of crumbs, patting crumbs 
lightly down when measuring. Place crumbs in small bowl and mix in the sugar.

Spray a 9-inch pie pan with Pam and pat cake crumbs in pie pan on the bottom 
and up the sides. Place pie crust in a preheated 275 degrees F oven for 
7 minutes. Watch crust carefully so the crumbs will not scorch. When done, 
remove and cool crust.

Filling
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups whole milk
3 egg yolks, beaten
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed

In a 2-quart sauce pan mix sugar, flour, salt and milk. Bring ingredients 
to a low boil and cook for two or three minutes, stirring constantly, until 
filling becomes thick. Remove pan from heat and add 1/2 cup of hot mixture
to beaten egg yolks and whisk together. Place filling back on stove at a low 
heat and slowly pour egg yolks into filling while whisking together. Pour 
lemon juice and vanilla into filling and bring to a soft boil and cook for 
two to three minutes longer. When filling is thick, remove from heat and set 
aside to cool. The filling may be poured into the crust while still a little 
warm but not hot.

Place pie in refrigerator for several hours to set and chill completely. 
When chilled, top with Cool Whip and sprinkle the two tablespoons of crumbled 
cake crumbs over the top. Garnish with fresh lemon zest.
