FRIED POTATOES (French Fashion)

Ingredients

• Potatoes
• hot butter or clarified dripping
• salt

Instructions

1. Peel and cut the potatoes into thin slices, as nearly the same size as possible; make some butter or dripping quite hot in a frying-pan;
2. put in the potatoes, and fry them on both sides of a nice brown.
3. When they are crisp and done, take them up, place them on a cloth before the fire to drain the grease from them, and serve very hot, after sprinkling them with salt.
4. These are delicious with rump-steak, and, in France, are frequently served thus as a breakfast dish.
5. The remains of cold potatoes may also be sliced and fried by the above recipe, but the slices must be cut a little thicker.
