     6 md Red potatoes; peeled
     2 sm Rutabagas; peeled
     1 lb Ground beef
   1/2 lb Ground pork

 In a large bowl, stir shortening & water until shortening
 is melted. Gradually stir in flour and salt until a very
 soft dough is formed; cover and refrigerate for 1 1/2
 hours.

 Cut potatoes and rutabagas into 1/8" or 1/4" cubes; do
 not make cubes too large or they will not cook properly.
 Gently combine ground beef and pork; crumble meat. In a
 large bowl, combine potatoes, rutabagas, onions, meat
 mixture and seasonings.

 Divide dough into 12 equal portions. On a floured
 surface, roll out 1 portion at a time into an 8"
 circle. Mound 1-1/2 to 2 cups filling on half of each
 circle; dot with 1 teaspoon butter. Moisten edge with
 water; carefully fold dough over filling and press edge
 with a fork to seal.

 Place on ungreased baking sheets. Cut several slits in
 top of pasties. If desired, brush with cream or beaten
 egg. Bake @ 350ºF/175ºC until golden brown, about 1
 hour. Cool pasties on wire racks. Serve hot or cold.
 Store in the refrigerator.
