Saratoga Potatoes
Ingredients
Directions
Peel the potatoes and soak them in ice water for 1-2 hours.
Slice the potatoes very thinly and return them to the ice water.
Dry the potato slices with a towel.
Fry the slices in boiling suet or lard until light brown.
Remove the potatoes and place them on paper over a colander to absorb excess grease.
Sprinkle with coarse sea salt before serving.
