The potatoes may be topped with 1/4 cup toasted, sliced almonds. You can also add 1/2 cup diced lean ham or crumbled bacon to dried fruit mixture. Squares may be served with maple syrup, if desired

Butter a 7 X 11" baking pan. Peel the skin off the cooled potatoes and slice thinly.

Arrange half the sliced potatoes in the buttered pan. Cover potatoes evenly with the dried fruit. Top fruit layer with remaining potato slices.

Mix eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a separate bowl and pour over potatoes. Place pan of potatoes in a large baking pan (such as a 13 X 9-inch pan) and carefully pour 1/2 inch of boiling water in the the larger pan to create a water bath or Bain Marie. Cover potatoes with foil and bake 40 minutes.

Uncover potatoes and bake another 15 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, cut into 6 squares and serve.
