Scalloped Tomatoes

1. Vegetables should be thoroughly washed and cooked till tender in freshly boiling, salted water (1/2 tablespoon salt to 1 quart water).
2. Peel potatoes by pouring boiling water on them and drawing off the skin.
3. Quarter and cook in a double boiler until perfectly soft.
4. Melt butter and add to it the crumbs, which should be fine and dry.
5. Place tomatoes in a buttered baking-dish in two layers; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and crumbs, with more crumbs on top than between the layers.
6. Bake 35 to 45 minutes in a moderate oven.
