Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes peeled, sliced
- 1/4 cup bacon grease
- 1 teaspoon salt
How to Make
-
Step 1: Peel large potatoes and slice them about a quarter of an inch thick, or cut them in shavings round and round, as you would peal a lemon (for curly fries).
-
Step 2: Dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or drippings (bacon grease).
-
Step 3: Take care that your fat and frying-pan are quite clean.
-
Step 4: Put it on a quick fire, watch it, and as soon as the lard boils and is still (really hot), put in the slices of potatoes, and keep moving them till they are crisp.
-
Step 5: Take them up and lay them to drain on a sieve, (place on paper towels).
-
Step 6: Serve them with very little salt sprinkled on them.
