1 pint Heavy cream

1Joint the chicken into small pieces. Cook the chicken until tender. Season with butter, salt, and pepper. Thicken the gravy with flour.
2Just before the chicken is almost done, pare a quantity of potatoes, cut them in two, and lay them on top of the chicken. Let them boil until done.
